Archaea packages DNA around histones in a similar way to eukaryotes, suggesting that fitting a large genome into a small space was not the original role of chromatin.
The scientist who pioneered cloning has found that a histone may act as a cellular reset button.
Long non-protein-coding RNA (lncRNA) sequences are often transcribed from the opposite, or antisense, strand of a protein coding gene. In the past few years, research has shown that these lncRNAs play a number of regulatory roles in the cell. For exa
Mimicking a host-cell histone protein offers flu a sneaky tactic to suppress immune response.
Chemicals that change the way DNA is packaged could improve the effects of current antipsychotics.
The DNA forms known as G-quadruplexes are finally discovered in human cells.
A new, genetically encoded tag for electron microscopy may revolutionize studies of specific proteins in cells and tissues.
