A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

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 ...

Gene regulation and chromatin dynamics constitute central themes in modern molecular biology, governing how the genetic blueprint is accessed and utilised during development, differentiation and ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a ...

The most comprehensive dataset of termite genomes to date was created by an international team of scientists, led by ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...
