Cancer genomes are the result of diverse mutation processes that have often accumulated over decades. Scientists have analyzed the molecular evolution of tumors after exposure to mutagenic chemicals.

After DNA damage, for example by chemicals, the damaged and undamaged DNA strands are separated from each other during cell division. The cells often do not repair the DNA damage immediately; the ...

In both physics and chemistry, the mesoscopic scale refers to the length scale on which the properties of a material or phenomenon can be studied, without entering into a discussion about the behavior ...

Arc Institute, a research organization that operates in collaboration with UC Berkeley, has released an artificial intelligence model that can classify and generate strands of DNA. This technology has ...

Intrinsically disordered regions in transcription factors enhance both target binding probability and search efficiency.

A large number of DNA bricks can produce three-dimensional shapes, such as a cuboid that is depicted by a DNA brick model and a DNA strand model. Each brick carries a unique sequence that directs it ...

Maynooth University has been awarded €4m in EU funding for the development of a DNA-based computing and information storage system. The team is led by computer scientist Professor Damien Woods and the ...

A mixture of DNA and proteins—known as "chromatin"—sits inside every cell nucleus as a jumbled puddle of genetic information. As cells prepare to divide during mitosis, the chromatin is condensed into ...
