An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...

A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, ...

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 ...

A research group led by Drs. Shusuke Tada and Takashi Tsuyama at the Department of Molecular Biology, Faculty of ...

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 capture the most detailed 3D images of chromatin condensates, revealing how DNA packs tightly inside cells.

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

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

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...
