The formation of DNA adducts due to flavouring substances, particularly those derived from botanicals, has emerged as a critical area of toxicological research. Many naturally occurring compounds ...

Researchers discovered how the Lsr2 protein silences foreign DNA in tuberculosis bacteria. By forming protein condensates on ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing an overlooked mechanism with major implications.

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

(Top) Schematic diagram of the basic unit (Y-motif) of DNA condensates and their binding via sticky-end interaction. (Bottom) A schematic diagram illustrates how DNA condensate formation is regulated ...

Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...
