Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial ...

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

When people think of DNA, they visualize a string-like double helix structure. In reality, the DNA double helix in cells is supercoiled and constrained into loops. This supercoiling and looping are ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Researchers uncovered an overlooked layer of genetic variation: subtle sequence changes within short tandem repeats. Studying genomic data from over 3,000 people, they found these variations are ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune ...

A team of physicists working at the intersection of theory and experiment are shedding new light on the 'teamwork' of molecular motors -- called RNA polymerases (RNAPs) -- that mediate DNA ...
