Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...

Researchers at Aarhus University have developed a microscopic DNA needle that can deliver molecules directly into cells—and, ...

Scientists are turning DNA into tiny robots that can move, sense, and deliver drugs, pushing nanotechnology closer to ...

DNA, long known as the molecule that carries genetic information, is taking on a new role in science. Researchers now see it ...
