For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

Researchers found how the INO80 protein moves nucleosomes to specific positions that are important for gene regulation and DNA replication INO80 uses a unique mechanism for moving nucleosomes that ...

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are essential for successful chromosome transmission during replication and segregation of the genome in all organisms. SMC proteins were thought ...

James Watson, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, has died. Watson was 97 years old and passed away after a brief illness. His groundbreaking ...
