Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The period between the 1920s and 1950s was a time of significant progress and exciting discoveries in gene therapy history and ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Cancer isn't just about broken genes—it's about broken architecture. Imagine a city where roads suddenly vanish, cutting off ...

ASH 2025 research shows cancer can arise not just from mutations but from broken DNA architecture. AI reveals how lost genome loops silence tumor suppressor genes.

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...

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 ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...
