Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

If your genes could set an alarm clock, EZH1 might be the one ringing the bell. A new study has revealed how this ...

Rock and dust samples retrieved by NASA from the asteroid Bennu exhibit some of the chemical building blocks of life, ...

"Missense" mutations — changes in a DNA sequence that swap one amino ... it's not entirely clear how these mutations affect the structure and function of proteins and thus cause disease.

Scientists develop DNA nanorobots capable of modifying artificial cells. Scientists at the University of Stuttgart have successfully used "DNA origami" to control the structure and function of ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

The extended copies create kinks in the DNA, making it more susceptible to breakage and replication errors. When cells attempt to fix the breaks, repeat expansions occur, which leads to loss of ...

ChromoGen: A quick method to determine 3D genomic structures using generative AI, enabling the prediction of thousands of ...
