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.

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

As chromosomes pair up in developing egg or sperm cells, matching DNA strands are exchanged and twined together over a short distance to form a structure called a "double Holliday junction." DNA ...

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 ...

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 ...
