A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a ...

Sox9, a master regulator of cartilage formation, switches its target genes dynamically during embryonic limb development ...

Thanks to a serendipitous discovery and a lot of painstaking work, scientists can now build biohybrid molecules that combine the homing powers of DNA with the broad functional repertoire of proteins - ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using synthetic DNA produced inside cells, without making a single permanent change ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber-linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

Generative AI is biology’s new playground. The technology powering popular chatbots can also dream up new, entirely novel versions of life’s most basic molecules, from DNA to proteins. Once the domain ...

Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.
