Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilised egg as a structural 'blank slate' – a disordered tangle of ...

For many years, researchers believed that the DNA inside a newly fertilized egg began as a structural ‘blank slate’ – a loose ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

There are a variety of machines, consumables, and safety equipment needed to operate a molecular biology lab. And yes, for the vast majority of labs, purified salmon sperm DNA is one of those ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

Jan Witkowski is the former executive director of the Banbury Center at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and an editor, with Alex Gann, of The Annotated and Illustrated Double Helix. James D. Watson was ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...
