This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

Stanford scientists have identified 380 key genetic variants that significantly influence cancer development, filtering ...

Curled up inside every single one of the trillions of cells in the human body is six feet of DNA, spooled tightly and carrying the genetic instructions that govern so much of who a person becomes.

Stanford Medicine researchers sifted through thousands of single nucleotide mutations in DNA to identify fewer than 400 that are functionally associated with inherited cancer risk.

Torsional stress in chromatin plays a fundamental role in cellular functions, influencing key processes such as transcription, replication, and chromatin organization. Transcription and other ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered new details about how the human genome produces instructions for creating ...

Our biological sciences students explore the complexities of life and work to address global challenges in biology. Our faculty advance knowledge in a wide range of disciplines within the biological ...

The superfamily 1 (SF1) and SF2 enzymes are non-hexameric enzymes possessing both helicase and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) translocase activities, as well as the ability to displace proteins from DNA.

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...
