A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D structure of DNA is important for controlling cell-specific gene expression ...

There is a huge amount of DNA in most human cells, and that DNA has to be carefully compacted and organized so that it will fit into a cell’s nucleus, while the crucial parts of it remain accessible ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE ...

AMES, Iowa – In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules hold massive troves of genetic data providing instructions for how living organisms should function – the blueprint of life. How the ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE-1 in shaping the cancer genome structure and regulation.

Research has uncovered a previously unknown, widespread role of ORC in regulating human cell gene expression. New work has revealed a much wider role for origin-recognition complex (ORC) in regulating ...

The way the body ages could be more resilient than previously thought, a new study suggests. Published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the work by researchers at King's College London ...
