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

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

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

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