Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...

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, ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

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 ...

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...
