Researchers from the Mattiroli group have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself ...

Harvard researchers pioneered a method called HACE for targeted gene mutations, advancing genetic research potential.

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch.

However, some cancer cells survive. How do they do it? Part of the answer lies in extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA), an ace up the ...

Altered activity of ancient viral genes were linked to neurodegenerative diseases including ALS in a recent analysis.

This important work advances our understanding of DNA methylation and its consequences for susceptibility to DNA damage. This work presents evidence that DNA methylation can accentuate the genomic ...

Those featured circles, ecDNAs, are small and often contain a few genes on their circular DNA. Frequently, these genes are cancer-associated genes called oncogenes. When a cancer cell contains ...

"Our finding fundamentally alters our understanding of how cells are organised," explains Dr. Pardo Lorente. "The nucleus isn't just a passive storage space for DNA; it has its own metabolic needs and ...

they found retrotransposons had switched on in stem cells from pregnant mice. Retrotransposons are ancient viral gene sequences now permanently part of our genome and sometimes called "junk DNA ...

Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DNA) is a biotechnology company that develops a platform for cell programming, addressing challenges across various industries. The company has bolstered its ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

It tells the cell how, where and when to 'read' and use the information in the DNA. It is important that both the DNA and its chromatin are copied accurately to ensure young and healthy cells .
