This story is part of a larger series on viroids and virusoids, small infectious RNAs. It is also the fourth installment in a series on hepatitis D virus, a virusoid-like pathogen that causes serious ...

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

From the completion of the pilot phase of The ENCODE Project in 2007, it has been evident that there is much more to a gene than the just a sequence that codes for protein, changing our concept of ...

A 'loopy' discovery in bacteria is raising fundamental questions about the makeup of our own genome -- and revealing a potential wellspring of material for new genetic therapies. A "loopy" discovery ...

A game-changining achievement in genome science has identified over 140,000 distinct DNA loops in our cells, providing chromosome fold resolution that is among the best ever created. In this ongoing ...

In three back-to-back papers and five pages of the April 25, 1953, issue of Nature, seven authors laid out the evidence and interpretation that established the double helical structure of DNA. As ever ...

DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DELs) have emerged as a transformative technology in drug discovery, offering unparalleled efficiency in the identification of bioactive small molecules. By covalently ...
