One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

Penn State researchers discovered that two proteins within the CCR4-NOT complex have opposing effects on mRNA stability.

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Researchers at the CNIO show that oestrogens regulate gene expression by changing DNA supercoiling. Hormone-activated ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...
