A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

Jurors in the Brendan Banfield murder trial saw photos showing major changes inside the Banfield home after the killings, as prosecutors alleged an affair and plotted murders at the center of the case ...

Billiontoone (NASDAQ:BLLN) used its presentation at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference to highlight what management described as a “single molecule” next-generation sequencing platform that it ...

Protons, the positively charged particles that help build every atom in our bodies, are starting to look less like classical ...

(L) Corresponding author Shengdar Tsai, PhD, and (R) co-first author Varun Katta, both of the St. Jude Department of Hematology. While traditional genome editing technology uses CRISPR-Cas9 to cut a ...

Scientists and physicians can better assess precision genome editing technology using a new method made public today by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Significant amounts of time and resources ...

DNA inside human cells is not free-floating. Instead, it is tightly wrapped around small protein units forming a long chain, with DNA looping around each unit before moving on to the next. This ...

Each cell in a plant, animal, or person contains millions, or even billions, of DNA base pairs—molecules connected by hydrogen bonds that are the building blocks of DNA. These base pairs collectively ...

For nearly 40 years, the identity of the person who sexually assaulted and killed a 30-year-old woman found along a quiet stretch of rural highway south of Denver eluded investigators. Now, small ...

Researchers found how the INO80 protein moves nucleosomes to specific positions that are important for gene regulation and DNA replication INO80 uses a unique mechanism for moving nucleosomes that ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells, revealing the physical structures that control ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...
