One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...
Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...
Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...
A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...
Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...
The centromere is necessary for the transport of chromosomes during cell division and, therefore, for the correct ...
Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...
