The creation of memories in the brain involves addition or removal of methyl groups at precise spots on chromosomal DNA. But what controls the careful targeting of these neuronal DNA methylation ...

In patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who received induction-concurrent (chemo)radiotherapy, persistent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA positivity or its resurgence during treatment was associated ...

Big-picture patterns of DNA packaging, gene activation and mutations could hold the information needed to develop a blood-based biopsy for small cell lung cancer patients, according to new work ...

The researchers found that, contrary to how it’s depicted in most textbooks, chromatin does not fold in on itself in an organized manner to create distinct structures. Instead, it forms a pliable, ...

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...

Eye spots, color patterns that resemble the eyes of vertebrates, on butterfly wings are common in nature. A research team involving the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) ...

Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new research. The study, ...
