Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome ...

A gel held together entirely by interlocking DNA rings exhibits mechanical properties unlike any conventional gel, driven purely by topology.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

An extensive computational study predicts that gold nanoclusters could selectively recognize chiral biomolecules. This ...

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

Purdue University researcher Emily Dykhuizen explores how cancer takes advantage of the machinery that surrounds DNA, enabling some of its most pernicious powers, like the ability to evade the immune ...

How does DNA structure itself from the very first moments of life? A team of researchers has just observed that DNA adopts a defined three-dimensional architecture much more rapidly than ...

Researchers used molecular signatures in mobile DNA to trace the evolutionary origins of the cultivated strawberry genome.

Explore the impact of patriarchy and the Matilda effect on women's contributions to STEM, highlighting Rosalind Franklin's ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

A team from the University of Barcelona has designed and validated in animal models an innovative compound with a pioneering mechanism of action for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Unlike ...

This refers to DNA from animals that is found in the environment as a result of natural shedding. Think: dead skin, feces, ...
