Amid President Trump's attack on soft diplomacy, a Chronicle reporter reflects on her experience in the Peace Corps 35 years ...

Once dismissed as “junk,” pieces of ancient viral DNA in our genome are now known to help control which genes are turned on or off.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the mechanism by which cells identify and repair a highly toxic form of DNA ...

Our DNA is constantly being packed and unpacked. And there is a good reason for this: depending on its packing state, it performs different functions in the cell nucleus. For most of its life – this ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the ...

Packing tightly the DNA at the wrong time can lead to severe consequences for the cell and for the organism – for example, uncontrolled DNA packing is associated with primary microcephaly.

This Collection invites cell-free DNA research focusing on early cancer and minimal residual disease detection that centers on epigenomic features (i.e. methylation, fragmentomics).

In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical ...

Investigating chromatin's 3D architecture reveals its influence on gene regulation, shedding light on mechanisms underlying ...
