A new study led by Francesca Storici, a professor in the School of Biological Sciences and faculty member of the Parker H.

A new atlas pairs DNA methylation with 3D genome folding in 86,689 human cells and ties disease risk to specific cell types.

Researchers have developed fluorescent molecules that permit imaging of how DNA is packaged inside living cells at ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

Learn how DNA can be exchanged between two cells that connect by forming nanotubes, and find out why this is crucial for cancer research. When cells in our body are going through a rough patch due to ...

A molecular illustration of the crowded interior and cell envelope of Escherichia coli. (David S. Goodsell, The Scripps ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

Researchers filmed the enzyme APE1 hunting DNA damage one molecule at a time. Its shapeless tail turned out to do the finding ...

It takes two sets of DNA to make a human embryo. Yet when a pregnancy ends in miscarriage, medicine has historically looked ...

The cancer drugs called PARP inhibitors have a puzzling reputation: even though they are treatment mainstays for multiple forms of cancer, they can damage cancer-killing T cells and disrupt the ...
