A systematic analysis of hundreds of WGBS datasets finds that apparent mitochondrial DNA methylation is driven mainly by ...

A new review in Cellular Oncology argues that treatment resistance in cancer often stems from selection and remodeling of pre ...

Single-molecule techniques have advanced our understanding of DNA–protein interactions, yet simultaneously tracking enzyme position on DNA, determining binding dynamics and resolving enzyme activity ...

When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration, and chronic inflammation. A new chemical tool developed at UC Riverside ...

(Agnes Noy/Catley et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2026) If you could peer inside a cell's nucleus, you would find DNA tightly packed into a remarkably small space. But that arrangement presents a ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

A repetitive stretch of noncoding DNA helps regulate a gene active in human but not chimpanzee forebrain progenitor cells.

An ancient viral insertion silences LINC00662 in chimpanzee cells, while the gene is active during early human brain ...

James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...

Thymine suffers more UV damage than uracil in lab tests, but its damage pathways could help explain its place in DNA.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...
