DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

Sarah J. Aitken is at the Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology, Yale Cancer Center, New Haven, Connecticut 06511, USA, and in the Department of Pathology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven. Read ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that certain p53 mutants hijack the DNA replication machinery ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

Women who consumed more ultra-processed foods (UPFs) showed distinct DNA methylation patterns, mostly reduced across key gene ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...
