A new study has created the first single-cell map of how DNA is regulated and organized inside different cell-types of human ...

The first step in DNA replication requires the assembly of a group of proteins called the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). Researchers have determined how the ORC assembles during the cell ...

How is two meters of DNA packed into the tiny nucleus of a cell? Scientists have uncovered the molecular processes by which a complex of proteins act as the "Marie Kondo" of molecular biology, folding ...

Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research have uncovered new information about vital structures inside cells which are responsible for organizing our DNA.

Scientists at Kyoto University have uncovered a hidden protein complex that organizes DNA in sperm stem cells, a discovery ...

For the first time, scientists have detected a DNA structure inside living human cells that looks more like a four-stranded knot than the elegant double helix we learned about in school.

DNA double helix discovery is one of the major breakthroughs in human scientific history. Now in a new research, scientists have found that there may be another new shape in the DNA machinery ...

Almost every type of human cell is powered by mitochondria, bean-shaped organelles that use oxygen to synthesize usable energy.* These structures evolved billions of years ago from free-swimming ...

But DNA doesn't always assume this form. The existence of one shape of DNA in humans, in particular — a four-stranded knot of genetic code — has been controversial among scientists for years.
