Scientists have created the first comprehensive map of DNA quadruplexes, fleeting knot-like structures that play an outsized ...

Figure 1: KMAP visualisation of SELEX-seq data for the transcription factor MAFK. Each dot represents a k-mer. Clusters of k-mers at the center correspond to DNA motifs, while the surrounding dots ...

DNA methylation in bacteria, primarily involving the addition of methyl groups to adenine or cytosine residues, constitutes a pivotal epigenetic mechanism that modulates gene expression without ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

Mitochondrial transcription elongation factor maintains the balance between transcription and replication of mitochondrial DNA offering insights into potential treatments for mitochondrial disease and ...

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, Aalto University and the University of Oulu have developed a new computational method for exploring DNA sequence patterns. The method, called KMAP, ...
