Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools ...

Left: Imaging of lamin A/C structures in a physically expanded nucleus from an individual with progeria. Right: Same, but with 3D genomic reads overlaid in their original spatial locations, colored by ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.
