Figure 1: KMAP visualisation of SELEX-seq data for the transcription factor MAFK. Each dot represents a k-mer. Clusters of k-mers at the center correspond to DNA motifs, while the surrounding dots ...

Every cell in our body contains the same DNA, yet liver cells are different from brain cells, and skin cells differ from muscle cells. What determines these differences? It all comes down to gene ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

The mapping of 50,000 mysterious "knots" in the human genome may someday lead to the development of new cancer drugs, researchers say. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

(Nanowerk News) Advancements in micro- and nano-scale fabrication technologies have given rise to diverse micrometer-sized entities such as microgels and liposomes, which are widely utilized in ...

Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer. Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches ...
