Because I find it hard to relate to something as small as the structure of the human genome, I like to imagine it scaled up a millionfold. At this size, each DNA molecule—a chromosome—is as wide as a ...

You’ve dreamed of composing ear-blasting symphonies, but gave up because you didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars on equipment and software. Well, GarageBand’s Live Loops makes it easy to craft, ...

R loops consist of RNA–DNA hybrids that accumulate at preferred regions all over the genome, such as pericentromeric DNA, telomeres, ribosomal DNA or transcription termination regions. R loops are an ...

Loops at the ends of telomeres play a vital protective role preventing damage to chromosomes, according to new research. The study showed how the winding and unwinding of 't-loops' at the end of ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...

Dangerous climate feedback loops are increasing global warming and risk causing a permanent shift away from the Earth’s current climate, according to a new study. Climate feedback loops are cyclical ...

A photographer recently snapped an incredibly detailed photo of gigantic, ghostly plasma loops towering above the sun's fiery surface after a powerful solar flare exploded from the sun. When you ...

It is important for both lay people and clinicians to be aware of neurotic loops, as they are at the heart of much psychological suffering and are the focus of much of the work in the clinic room. A ...

Sara was so frustrated with herself and the situation that she just could not take it anymore. She had tried repeatedly to please her boss, but once again, he yelled at her for not meeting his ...
