Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic ...

Coming off the feature I wrote on Travelle, I flew into Los Angeles still thinking about the themes we covered: systems, the future, and how performance evolves ...

Scientists have uncovered how a surprisingly structured protein helps disordered molecules regulate gene expression, upending previous ideas in molecular biology. Inside every human cell, proteins ...

New research suggests that DNA sequences historically considered to be "junk" have had an overlooked role in gene expression ...

A portion of our genome that was once dismissed as being “junk” may actually play an important role in regulating gene ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures.

During DNA replication, the classic double helix can temporarily rearrange into an alternative structure known as a DNA three ...

Elenagen™, a novel DNA plasmid therapy that previously demonstrated high clinical benefit and low toxicity in cancer patients, has now shown significant promise in alleviating chronic pain ...

What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this mystery. Their experiments show that ribose binds more readily and ...
