More than 20 years after the conclusion of the Human Genome Project, Macias and other researchers at Wang Lab in the ...

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

The nuclei in our cells are miniature warehouses safeguarding the genetic blueprint for the body's biologic machinery. As ...

At meeting on human embryo editing, CRISPR pioneer says science is a long way from knowing if germline DNA can be safely ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Vence Bonham Jr., the highest ranking official at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), has been put on ...

AI systems already work their magic in many areas of biomedical science, helping to solve protein structure, discover hidden ...

One of the key challenges of the modern genomics era is studying the thousands of genes in a single human cell at scale. To ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...
