AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

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 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 ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells, revealing the physical structures that control ...

Now, researchers at UNSW Sydney have discovered a group of these switches that help control how brain cells called astrocytes ...

The repair of damage to genetic material (DNA) in the human body is carried out by highly efficient mechanisms that have not yet been fully researched. A scientific team has now discovered a ...

A team at Washington University traced how plants gained duplicate DNA-control enzymes that evolved into new functions, boosting their ability to handle stress. The finding shows how a single genetic ...

In a world of wild talk and fake news, help us stand up for the facts.

The repair of damage to genetic material (DNA) in the human body is carried out by highly efficient mechanisms that have not yet been fully researched. A scientific team led by Christian Seiser from ...
