Two new studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature Structural ...

University of Wisconsin researchers Sushmita Roy and Erika Da-Inn Lee have developed a new computational tool that maps ...

Gene regulation and chromatin dynamics constitute central themes in modern molecular biology, governing how the genetic blueprint is accessed and utilised during development, differentiation and ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

DNA might be too small to see with the unaided eye, but it packs our cells in shocking quantities: More than six and a half feet of DNA lies within every cellular nucleus. It squeezes into such a ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Despite being made from a relatively simple set of building blocks, ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a broad array of complex ...

The new system developed by Professor Chad Mirkin delivers CRISPR machinery more safely and effectively into cells.
