Researchers have developed fluorescent molecules that permit imaging of how DNA is packaged inside living cells at ...

A new atlas pairs DNA methylation with 3D genome folding in 86,689 human cells and ties disease risk to specific cell types.

Learn how DNA can be exchanged between two cells that connect by forming nanotubes, and find out why this is crucial for cancer research. When cells in our body are going through a rough patch due to ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has tasked scientists with developing a system that can receive ...

A new study by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania reveals that the ...

Researchers filmed the enzyme APE1 hunting DNA damage one molecule at a time. Its shapeless tail turned out to do the finding ...

The cancer drugs called PARP inhibitors have a puzzling reputation: even though they are treatment mainstays for multiple forms of cancer, they can damage cancer-killing T cells and disrupt the ...
