Researchers from The University of Osaka develop a new nanotechnology that efficiently unzips DNA for quick and easy genetic ...

The initiation of DNA replication occurs in two steps. First, a so-called initiator protein unwinds a short stretch of the DNA double helix. Then, a protein known as helicase attaches to and ...

Damon Runyon gave me the freedom to pursue a high-risk project,” said current Fellow Zeda Zhang, PhD. “But it also brings together smart people with very different expertise. And by creating this ...

A map of DNA methylation changes in human organs could help researchers to discover more targets for anti-ageing therapies.

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron pairs would be spontaneously created out of nothing, through a phenomenon ...

Previously, research on controlling gene networks has been carried out based on a single stimulus-response of cells. More recently, studies have been proposed to precisely analyze complex gene ...

DNA doesn’t knot under stress. A new study finds it coils into plectonemes, reshaping models of genome mechanics. For decades ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a common virus linked to birth defects and chronic illness manipulates ...

New research from the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is tackling a complex packing problem. Thanks to the development of a powerful new computational tool introduced in a study published earlier ...

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

Surya is a 366M-parameter model created by IBM and NASA to forecast solar activity, including flare events, solar winds, and precursors to solar eruptions, which can significantly impact astronaut ...

Myristoylation is a co-translational process catalyzed by N-myristoyltransferases (NMTs) on ribosomes, but its mechanism ...
