In a growing global trend, bacteria are evolving new ways to maneuver around medical treatments for a variety of infections.

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can ...

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Histones are a family of small, positively charged proteins termed H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 (Van Holde ...

Contributor Content The consumer health landscape is shifting. As AI-powered insights, genetic testing, and preventative health tools gain traction, a new generation of companies is emerging to ...

What do a human, a rose, and a bacterium have in common? Each of these things — along with every other organism on Earth — contains the molecular instructions for life, called deoxyribonucleic ...

Chromosomes Threadlike structure found in the nucleus. Made of DNA which contains the genetic information of the cell. Cytoplasm Chemical reactions take place here. Mitochondria Site of cell ...

Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

The study, published in the prestigious journal EMBO Journal, reveals why some tumors escape the immune system, and offers a method to visualize these processes in complex biological models. Our cells ...

The plasmid DNA vaccine (above) carries the genetic code for a piece of pathogen or tumor antigen. The plasmid vector is taken up into cells and transcribed in the nucleus (1). The single stranded ...

The study focuses on 64 ancestral genes needed to make histones, which are the molecular packaging material that helps squish some six feet of DNA strands into a single cell’s nucleus. His team ...
