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

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

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

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each ...

Researchers created the most detailed maps yet of the genome’s three-dimensional organization using human stem cells and ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...
