In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Our cells' identity is shaped by DNA tags called methylation. New tech, scDEEP-mC, maps these tags in single cells with ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington's disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like ...

A new technique for probing the 3-D structure of ancient DNA may help scientists learn how extinct animals functioned, not just what they looked like.

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

Abstract FANCJ, a DNA helicase linked to Fanconi anemia and frequently mutated in cancers, counteracts replication stress by dismantling unconventional DNA secondary structures (such as G-quadruplexes ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to ...
