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

In recent months I’ve highlighted two excellent iPad apps by OnScreen Science that center around a 3D model of DNA. For the sake of completeness, let me now mention the third and final member of the ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were long regarded as harmful by-products of mitochondrial metabolism, but growing evidence—including our own—shows that ROS also signal to core processes such as ...

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 ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
