For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...
A new AI model by Google DeepMind can decipher DNA and predict mutations, opening new doors for disease research. View on euronews ...
New findings show that the genome’s 3D structure is constantly changing, with NIPBL guiding loop formation that regulates active genes. Faulty folding dynamics may underlie cancers and developmental ...
Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers ...
Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...
Researchers at the School of Biological Sciences of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have uncovered how eukaryotic cells can control gene activity even after losing one of their major gene-regulatory ...
DNA, which has a double-helix structure, can have many genetic mutations and variations. Credit: NIH When cells in the human body divide, they must first make accurate copies of their DNA. The DNA ...
