A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...
Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...
New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our understanding of how bacteria manage DNA. The methods enabled researchers to uncover ...
In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...
New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our ...
Studying how single DNA molecules behave helps us to better understand genetic disorders and design better drugs. Until now however, examining DNA molecules one-by-one was a slow process.
Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...
An illustration shows a strand of engineered DNA passing through a nanoscale sensor, where its physical structure can be decoded as digital information. DNA nanostructures could one day serve as ultra ...
Children living in war-torn countries not only suffer from poor mental health outcomes, but war may cause adverse biological changes at the DNA level, which could have lifelong health impacts, ...
The human brain is one of the most complex parts of the body. It controls how we think, feel, remember, and behave.
