An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...
Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...
High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...
Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...
Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...
New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...
Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...
With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...
Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...
