Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...

Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures comprising DNA that are present inside the nucleus of every cell in the body. Specific segments of DNA are called genes. Every chromosome contains many genes, ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Scientists found that childhood trauma can change DNA and brain development, leaving long-term biological marks.

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have published an analysis that reveals new functions of the ...

Beef jerky and some woolly mammoths have at least one thing in common: Drying turns their DNA into super-tough glass. This glassy DNA is so stable that it preserved the three-dimensional structure of ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have investigated the genetic diversity and future distribution of Shorea macrophylla ...
