In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

Inside the lab where scientists want to rewrite our DNA from scratch - Artificial biological intelligence could change ...

By blending scientific accuracy with creative design, one builder hopes to make the history of DNA accessible, interactive, ...
