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 ...
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 ...
Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...
Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...
Scientists from the Kavli Institute of Delft University of Technology and the IMP Vienna Biocenter discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago ...
