DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

It's long been assumed that as cells divide in the human body, the genome is faithfully replicated in the resulting daughter cells. While errors are known to arise, there is machinery in the cell that ...

James Watson, who co-won the Nobel Prize for discovering DNA's structure, was a towering and controversial figure in science. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Using ancestry decomposition techniques an international research team has revealed a deeply divergent ancestry among admixed populations from the Angolan Namib desert. This unique genetic heritage ...

Rosalind Franklin’s role in the discovery of the structure of DNA may have been different than previously believed. Franklin wasn’t the victim of data theft at the hands of James Watson and Francis ...

When scientists sequenced the DNA of a woman who lived to 117, they were not just cataloging the quirks of an extraordinary life. They were probing a question that touches every family: why do some ...
