Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

A French research team led by CNRS scientists has discovered that cells are able to retain a memory of a previous perturbation within the 3D structure of their genome, independently of their DNA ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

Scientists at Google DeepMind —the company’s artificial intelligence research arm—say they’ve created an A.I. tool that can ...

Dr Robert Goldstone, head of genomics at the Francis Crick Institute, said the model was a "major milestone in the field of ...

Caltech researchers have invented a new technology to write long sequences of DNA with groundbreaking accuracy. The invention, a method called Sidewinder, utilizes the conceptual equivalent of page ...

Welcome back to a new semester of Dissertation Diaries. As a reminder, this is the series where we highlight Ph.D. students at Tufts as they approach the end of their degree. This time, we will be ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

James Watson, who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, has died at age 97. Born in Chicago in 1928, Watson made the groundbreaking discovery at just 24 years old alongside British ...
