When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

In recent months I’ve highlighted two excellent iPad apps by OnScreen Science that center around a 3D model of DNA. For the sake of completeness, let me now mention the third and final member of the ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were long regarded as harmful by-products of mitochondrial metabolism, but growing evidence—including our own—shows that ROS also signal to core processes such as ...

In a recent study published in PNAS, researchers introduced the Genomic Pre-trained Network (GPN), a multispecies model developed to learn genome-wide variant effects by self-supervised pretraining on ...
