Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

As the Arctic warms and sea ice disappears, polar bears are being pushed into conditions they have never faced before. Their ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

For decades, biologists assumed a single ‘turtle tick’ crawled across much of Asia. Now detailed DNA and microscope work show ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...

New breakthroughs in microbial analysis could enhance disease prediction, environmental protection and our understanding of the planet’s smallest life forms.

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...
