A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

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

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, ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes arms are ...

Even its ancestry is an enigma. Phylogenetic trees place Sukunaarchaeum as a “deep-branching” member of the domain Archaea—one of life’s three great domains that includes extremophiles and gave rise ...

Most of an animal cell’s DNA is stored in its nucleus, packaged into chromosomes that help maintain order. But cancer cells often carry another type of DNA: molecules separate from the rest of the ...
