Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the ...

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

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 ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

Scientists read ancient DNA from South African hunter gatherers and found a very early human branch that shaped survival ...
