DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

When Neandertals were first discovered nearly 170 years ago, the conceptual gap between their lineage and that of modern humans seemed vast. Initially scientists prejudicially believed that the ...

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...
