Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research have mapped the molecular landscape of the mouse hippocampus, a ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just ...

In a study published in Nature (September 3), Lulu Qian , professor of bioengineering, and her student Kevin Cherry (PhD '24) ...

CRISPR — short for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats — is a method of genetic editing that uses RNA ...

Rogue DNA rings known as ecDNA may hold the key to cracking glioblastoma’s deadly resilience. Emerging before tumors even ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Scientists are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that strongly influences how people and all organisms adjust and react to the world around them. While DNA and the ...

This valuable study tested the impact of DNA methylation on CTCF binding in two cancer cell lines. Increased CTCF binding sites are enriched in gene bodies, and associate with nuclear speckles, ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...
