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

AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

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

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...
