It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from IOCB Prague has now described in detail how cells repair this damaged ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes arms are ...

The Internet has Google. Now biology has MetaGraph. Detailed today in Nature, the search engine can quickly sift through the staggering volumes of biological data housed in public repositories. “It’s ...
