Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at replication origins, ensuring proper replication timing, and improving ...

Temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops inside the cell's nucleus drastically disrupted the ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding structure that helps control how genes turn on and off. Researchers at the ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

Researchers at Aarhus University report a proof-of-concept DNA needle inspired by bacteriophages that can deliver molecules directly into cells and help them remain active. In laboratory experiments, ...
