Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

DNA replication is a tightly controlled process that copies the genetic code, allowing its instructions to be conveyed from one generation of cells to the next. In diseases like cancer, these ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Scientists are uncovering a deeper layer of DNA biology—where its shape, stiffness, and 3D organization are just as important as its sequence. New tools are mapping how replication starts, how damage ...

Single-celled organisms have more complex DNA epigenetic code than multicellular life, researchers discover by Queen Mary, University of London edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence ...
