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

Scientists have uncovered a surprising secret about our DNA: it’s not a static blueprint, but a constantly shifting, folding ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while using less nitrogen fertilizer. The finding, published in Nature Genetics by ...

Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...
