Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA and then RNA helps make the proteins ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

The 55th Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research has been awarded to professor Steven ...

Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) are circular DNA structures located in the nuclei of cells outside chromosomes. They were originally discovered in chromosome spreads of cells obtained from embryonal ...
