The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of ...

DNA doesn’t knot under stress. A new study finds it coils into plectonemes, reshaping models of genome mechanics. For decades ...

A group led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine has identified significant differences at the epigenetic level – the chemical tags in DNA that help regulate gene expression – between two ...

Mathematical biologist Mariel Vazquez studies shapes and their abilities to transform. Her work could help uncover cancer therapies, new materials for electronics, and more.

Scientists are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that strongly influences how people and ...

The new system developed by Professor Chad Mirkin delivers CRISPR machinery more safely and effectively into cells.

DNA incorporating Diaminopurine is called Z-DNA. We've known since 1979 that it exists in nature in the form of a single virus called S-2L, which infects cyanobacteria.
