A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

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

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in their development. New insights into how maternal and paternal DNA is ...
