Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...

D microscopy shows that the giant bacterium Thiovulum imperiosus squeezes its DNA into peripheral pouches, not a central mass ...

Estrogens, the main female sex hormone, although they also perform some functions in men, are involved in a myriad of ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

Imagine a container of tomatoes arriving at the container terminal in Aarhus. The papers state that the tomatoes are from ...

The researchers focused on Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited disorder characterized by a failure to repair specific types of ...

A noninvasive blood test to detect genetic material shed by tumors may help clinicians identify adverse events related to ...
