Researchers have discovered that a gene linked to congenital heart disease acts like an architect for the heart cell’s DNA.

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how ...

The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells.

Throughout aquatic ecosystems, genetic structure and gene flow underpin the capacity of populations to adapt to environmental change and maintain resilience. Genetic structure emerges from the ...
