Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

First came AlphaFold. Now comes AlphaGenome for DNA. When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, a DNA-based computer that performs effectively has been created by scientists. This innovative breakthrough promises to redefine the boundaries of ...

DNA isn’t just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated—able to read not only the ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

This toxin, called colibactin, is made by certain strains of E. coli and other microbes that naturally live in the human gut.

People understand that someone can be predisposed to mental illness by inheriting certain genes or gene variants, but new research is revealing that inherited mental illnesses are also promoted by ...
