New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our understanding of how bacteria manage DNA. The methods enabled researchers to uncover ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic causes of diabetes in infants, pointing to a region of the genome that has long been ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that cells can detect less efficient genetic instructions and selectively silence ...

Researchers use AI to discover 14 distinct nucleosome states, revealing that DNA packaging acts as a "volume dial" for gene ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development in mice. In the new study, published in Nature Communications, a ...

Studies have shown that certain DNA variants have been linked to specific health conditions. But whether they can act as a ...

Researchers have discovered that DNA wrapped around nucleosomes exists in multiple partially open states rather than simply ...

Most hypotheses suggest that earlier forms of life had partial genetic codes and used fewer than 20 amino acids. To test ...

Genes associated with oxidative stress, DNA damage repair, apoptosis, glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis were ...
