Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

Cells use a surprising “pearling” motion to evenly distribute mitochondrial DNA. This newly uncovered process may be key to ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a minuscule speck invisible to the naked eye—like compressing ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

Researchers have discovered that DNA wrapped around nucleosomes exists in multiple partially open states rather than simply ...

The left-handed spiral of each Z-DNA strand is highlighted on the left. Binding and bonding of the two zinc finger domains (shown in red) from the CTCF protein to Z-DNA (shown in blue). This protein ...

Researchers use AI to discover 14 distinct nucleosome states, revealing that DNA packaging acts as a "volume dial" for gene ...
