High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Researchers found that DNA's shape matters. When its loops break, cancer can start.Based on a new concept of architectural tumor ...
