DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).

New technique enables high-resolution analysis of DNA

Function and form are deeply intertwined in biology. Knowing how organisms grow, adapt and reproduce requires understanding their physical structures. Hence the transformative power of the microscope across the past four centuries of science.

Deep learning improves protein design by 10x

The key to understanding proteins -; such as those that govern cancer, COVID-19, and other diseases -; is quite simple. Identify their chemical structure and find which other proteins can bind to them. But there's a catch.

Surprising new role for a key immune regulator revealed

A signaling protein known as STING is a critical player in the human immune system, detecting signs of danger within cells and then activating a variety of defense mechanisms.

Genome-wide study finds link between CHD1L gene and HIV control

"We searched for human genetic variation that associates with spontaneous control of HIV and identified a novel region in the genome that is only variable in populations of African ancestries," says Professor Jacques Fellay at EPFL's School of Life Sciences.

Genetic variant may explain why some people of African ancestry have lower HIV viral loads

An international team of researchers has found a genetic variant that may explain why some people of African ancestry have naturally lower viral loads of HIV, reducing their risk of transmitting the virus and slowing progress of their own illness.

TTUHSC researcher receives $1.76 million grant to investigate new pancreatic cancer treatment

With a survival rate in the single digits, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly lethal. In fact, by the time PDAC is clinically diagnosed, it is already considered incurable via surgery or other means in up to 90% of patients.
