Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a ...

Shah and colleagues take advantage of the presence of maternal and somatic ribosomes in zebrafish and confirm their differential expression during development. The authors convincingly show that ...

Scientists found that fast-evolving DNA shaped human brain development but might also increase risks for mental disorders.

Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have discovered an overlooked mechanism driving aggressive breast and brain tumors ...

Two new studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

In the absence of DDM1 and RNAi, this TE doesn’t produce small RNAs, so the centromere is not methylated. These mutants also ...

However, R-loops have also been increasingly described as highly deleterious, causing genomic instability and DNA damage. To maintain R-loops at a relatively safe level, complex regulatory mechanisms ...

Researchers have sequenced the genomes of Palmer amaranth and other pigweed species, uncovering key mechanisms behind ...

An ongoing exhibition, featuring 150 sculptures from art patron Saloni Doshi’s collection, offers an interplay between ...

Recent excavations at the Liulihe relic site in Beijing have uncovered significant discoveries, including the precise ...
