The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...
The molecular choreography of DNA replication is a finely balanced process ensuring that genetic information is faithfully transmitted during cell division. Replication initiation begins with origin ...
Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...
For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...
While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...
When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that ...
Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...

Cancer’s most notorious protein MYC also quietly repairs tumor DNA damage — blocking the trick could make chemotherapy far deadlier to cells it targets
For decades, oncologists have watched a frustrating pattern repeat itself. Tumors fueled by the MYC protein, one of the most ...
The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...
