It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

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

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 ...

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 aging, cancer, ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Senescent “zombie” cells are linked to aging and multiple diseases, but spotting them in living tissue has been notoriously difficult. Researchers at Mayo Clinic have now taken an inventive leap by ...
