New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the 'dark genome' that are responsible ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact within these droplet-like structures. The findings connect molecular ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their failures may drive disease.

Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...
