Unlike most cell types, which continuously divide, neurons have to last for the life of the organism. How do they do that? One way neurons stay healthy is by repairing their DNA as they transcribe it.

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body’s basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments that can control gene activity in specific cells. These sequences, called ...

A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...
