Published today in The EMBO Journal is the first comprehensive map of these unique DNA structures, shedding light on their potential roles in gene regulation involved in disease. In a landmark ...

Those short, added pieces of DNA fold the scaffold and give it shape, acting as "staples" that hold the structure together. The technique can then be used to create shapes ranging from a map of North ...

Ancient DNA is telling us more and more about humans and environments long past. Could it also help rescue the future?

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene activity—across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of ...

The Summit supercomputer revealed how damaged strands of DNA are surgically repaired by a molecular pathway called nucleotide ...

By creating the most complete and detailed genetic “map” of kidney function to date, the researchers have paved the way for more precise diagnosing of kidney disease, strategies to prevent it ...
