DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body. Researchers studying Plasmodium falciparum found that the parasite relies ...

The latest exhibit at Orange County Regional History Center may get creative juices flowing and prompt waves of nostalgia. “Animationland” provides hands-on artistic activities, and its companion ...

Some modern humans carry Neanderthal gene variants that affect how their bodies metabolize common medications. This explains recent genetic research linking ancient interbreeding to slower drug ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

CDT1 inhibits the helicase activity of the MCM complex, thereby suppressing nascent strand synthesis in DNA replication in cultured human cells. This action results in fork collapse and DNA damage, ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A new forensic process is helping investigators across Oklahoma identify remains in cold cases dating back decades — including a Canadian County case involving a woman who had ...

For years, the federal government has been amassing DNA profiles of noncitizens. But recently released Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data reveal that officials knowingly collected the DNA of ...
