DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Inside the lab where scientists want to rewrite our DNA from scratch - Artificial biological intelligence could change ...

Did you know there's a quest to find Leonardo da Vinci's DNA? With no direct descendants, scholars have taken to sampling the famous artist's paintings, letters and even distant cousins. And after ...
