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

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

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

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

New findings suggest the end-replication problem, an old standby of biology textbooks, is twice as intricate as once thought. Half a century ago, scientists Jim Watson and Alexey Olovnikov ...

To do their lab work, Laura Ross and her team must conduct an itty-bitty surgery. Ross, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, roots around in fungus-gnat parts because ...
