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

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

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

New research shows hydroxyurea reshapes DNA replication in cancer cells, revealing stress responses that may help design ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...
