The four reports in Nature Methods and Nature Genetics describe novel strategies for processing whole genomic DNA that ... subsets of protein coding exons from the human genome, and one of them ...

“SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome and regulate our genes. “Sometimes, a cell needs to ...

EZH1 is a key regulator of circadian rhythms, stabilizing gene transcription and modifying chromatin to maintain genetic ...

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

"We discovered that RapA, a protein that we've been curious about for years, is one of those key mechanisms." All living things rely on RNAP to transcribe DNA into RNA. In bacteria, researchers ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped the genome of the Iberian ribbed newt and revealed how the composition and ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

Researchers have optimized DNA-nanoparticle motors to achieve speeds of 30 nm/s, matching natural motor proteins. By ...

Researchers engineered a DNA-nanoparticle motor achieving 30 nm/s speed, enhancing performance to rival natural motor ...
