All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics -meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

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

Big-picture patterns of DNA packaging, gene activation and mutations could hold the information needed to develop a blood-based biopsy for small cell lung cancer patients, according to new work ...

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

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