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

A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and ...

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

Using CRISPR, Hebrew University of Jerusalem team finds PEDS1 enzyme linked to reduced brain size; study maps 331 genes ...

The history of cancer research is long, stretching back to 1713 when physician Bernadino Ramazzini observed that nuns faced ...

A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that aid DNA in carrying out essential processes such as replication, repair, and ...

Researchers show that loss of the SPRTN enzyme lets DNA–protein crosslinks accumulate, leak DNA into the cytoplasm, activate ...

Common ocean bacteria struggle to divide when conditions change, reshaping how warming seas affect ecosystems.

SAR11 bacteria dominate the world’s oceans by being incredibly efficient, shedding genes to survive in nutrient-poor waters.

They are the most common living things on our planet, thriving even in waters with very little food and playing a big role in ...
