Inside cells, DNA twists and coils itself into a variety of different secondary structures—including i-motifs (iMs) and ...

A global research team co-led by VCU expert Kenneth Kendler has produced the most comprehensive genetic map so far, identifying five families of disorders that show a high degree of overlap. An intern ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

A study scanned genomes from over 450,000 people to find individuals who carry rare archaic versions of DNA changes once thought universal in humans. The research shows that some high-profile ...

Scientists are collecting DNA from the Arctic Ocean to create a better map of climate change and environmental health ...

Abstract: The correlation properties of sequences form a focal point in the design of multiple access systems of communications. A popular choice for the set of sequences to deploy is the ...

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...
