In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how stretches of DNA form genes, this oversimplification undersells the significance of the genome’s 3D structure. Problems with this 3D structure are associated with many diseases including developmental disorders and cancer. Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys and colleagues in Hong Kong published findings June 27, 2025, in Genome Biology demonstrating a new approach for better understanding the human genome’s 3D structure and its influence.

Certain behavioral effects of not getting enough sleep may explain why people who have insomnia are at risk for problems with alcohol. A study of college students, published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research, found that sleep problems may increase negative mood and worsen impulse control, factors which, in turn, lead to more problems with alcohol.

A team of researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has published a new study in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s journal Chemical Science that shows how using the “standard” 2 (or more) femtosecond time step — the time interval at which computer simulations are analyzed — can lead to errors in molecular dynamics simulations involving water.

Since the onset of the Anthropocene, chemical pollution has become a major global threat to biodiversity across all ecosystems. It is no longer a problem of simple cause and effect. A new study reveals that pollutants can trigger sudden and dramatic ecological changes, acting like hidden levers that push ecosystems past points of no return. These shifts often happen without warning—disrupting biodiversity, altering food webs, and weakening natural resilience. Rather than following a predictable pattern, the impact of chemical contaminants often unfolds through complex, nonlinear dynamics. To tackle this, researchers propose an integrated framework that blends real-time monitoring with predictive modeling, offering a sharper lens to detect early warning signs and prevent irreversible damage. This approach could transform how we safeguard global ecosystems in the face of escalating environmental stress.
