For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

This question serves as a basic introduction to the three major genome viewers. One gene, ADAM2, will be examined using all three sites so that the reader can gain an appreciation of the subtle ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment ...

Scientists at Penn State University will reveal in the 29 March 2007 issue of the journal Nature the first complete high-resolution map of important structures that control how genes are packaged and ...

A gene is a fundamental unit of heredity, consisting of a specific sequence of DNA that encodes the instructions for making a particular protein or set of proteins. Genes are passed down from parents ...

This release is also available in Chinese on EurekAlert! Chinese. Over the past decades, researchers seeking to understand molecular mechanisms underlying various diseases, notably cancer, have taken ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...
