With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

Researchers discovered that stiff DNA segments inside nucleosomes physically block chromatin remodeling. The remodeling ...

Circular DNA, thought to be an accidental byproduct, is borrowing the cell’s DNA repair mechanisms to copy itself DURHAM, N.C. -- Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a ...

Epigenetic inheritance mechanisms play fundamental roles in maintaining cellular memory of gene expression states. In fission yeast, histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) is methylated (H3K9me) at ...

Nanoscale “robots” made of DNA that rapidly self-replicate could be harnessed to manufacture drugs or other chemicals inside the body, say researchers. Tiny machines made of DNA origami may make ...
