Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed ...

What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Peer ReviewDownload a summary of the editorial decision process including editorial decision letters, reviewer comments and author responses to feedback. Mitotic chromosomes give genome portions the ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

A new species of bacteria that functions like electrical wiring has recently been discovered on a brackish beach in Oregon. The species was named Candidatus Electrothrix yaqonensis in honor of the ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

This is a valuable polymer model that provides insight into the origin of macromolecular mixed and demixed states within transcription clusters. The well-performed and clearly presented simulations ...
