New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) programs accurately predicted the role of DNA's regulatory elements and three-dimensional (3D) structure based solely on its raw sequence, according to ...

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

All the cells of an organism share the same DNA sequence, but their functions, shapes or even lifespans vary greatly. This happens because each cell "reads" different chapters of the genome, thus ...

DNA nanostructures can perform some of the complex robotic fabrication process for manufacturing and self-replication. Building things and performing work with nanorobots has been a major technical ...

A robust platform for analyzing 3D genome architecture and epigenomic features enables a deeper understanding of gene regulation in specific cell types. Researchers analyze various aspects of gene ...

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

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

Cancer involves more than just genetic mutations; it also involves structural failures. Consider a city where roads disappear, isolating communities from vital resources.

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...
