The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...
Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial role in the hearing process. Loss of otoferlin or impairment of its function ...
New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...
In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how ...
Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have shown. This has important implications for our understanding of how genes ...
Spatial genetic structure and gene flow together determine the distribution of genetic diversity within and among plant populations. Spatial genetic structure arises when limited seed and pollen ...
The origin of many diseases begins at the cellular level and involves multiple molecular interactions. However, previous methods have struggled to accurately observe changes in individual cells.
Researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design have engineered larger, virus-like protein cages to one day deliver larger genetic payloads.
Most hypotheses suggest that earlier forms of life had partial genetic codes and used fewer than 20 amino acids. To test ...
