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 ...

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

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

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about 0.01 mm in size, it must be tightly folded. DNA wraps around proteins call ...

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

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...
