Researchers identified how the poxvirus protein VITF-3 forms a molecular ring that clamps onto DNA with viral RNA polymerase, ...

Researchers in Japan have identified a striking new way immune cells strip DNA out of dying neighbors, a process they call ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows that this biological process nearly stops in people with Alzheimer's ...
