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, ...
Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.
A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
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 shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...
It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
Biological science has made such astonishing leaps in the last few decades, such as precise gene editing, that scientists are now tackling the next logical — yet inherently controversial — step: ...
Remnants of ancient viral pandemics in the form of viral DNA sequences embedded in our genomes are still active in healthy people, according to new research my colleagues and I recently published.
The oldest sediment DNA discovered so far comes from Greenland and is 2 million years old.
