A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

Biological matter left behind in the water allows us to follow these animals without ever setting eyes on them.

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

After false starts and incremental gains, scientists crack the problem that made breathing impossible. Will answers come fast enough to save the sick?

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...
