NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission.

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

New AI model takes minutes rather than days to predict how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.

Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

Chromatin, the mix of DNA and protein that houses each cell's genome, is more resilient to aging than previously thought, suggests a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society by ...

MIT chemists use generative AI to predict 3D genomic structures quickly, a process far faster than current methods.

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures ... indicating a need to refine existing theories. Prokaryotic cells have DNA, typically a single, circular molecule that contains all the ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell ...
