Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, fundamentally rewires the three-dimensional structure of DNA in infected B cells to ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

Chemists have found a new way to determine 3D genome structures, using generative AI, that can predict thousands of genome structures in minutes, making it much speedier than existing methods for ...

In a first, scientists have mapped the three-dimensional structure of DNA belonging to an ancient animal: a 52,000-year-old mammoth found sporting a mulletlike hairdo. This advance, published in Cell, ...

For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...
