For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

A new study in Molecular Cell shows that a single DNA damage sensor, ATM, fully controls telomere-driven cell aging and that ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

Ancient DNA reveals that childhood viruses lived with humans for thousands of years, reshaping how we understand human and ...
