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

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

For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA – its genome – and segregate it equally into two new daughter cells. To prepare the 46 chromosomes of a human cell for transport to the daughter cells ...

DNA analysis is crucial for identifying individuals and their relatives, using technologies like PCR, electrophoresis, and ...

Cell aging has always been an important topic in biological research, and telomere shortening is one of the key issues in ...

Utrecht University has appointed Bas van Steensel as Special Professor of Chromosome Biology. Van Steensel will lead fundamental research into how chromosomes function and how genetic information is ...

Alan Herbert, explores the understanding of genome information storage, and the significance of repetitive sequences called ...

Cohesin holds sister chromosomes together until they are ready to separate during cell division. At the same time, the protein is essential for DNA repair: If a strand of DNA is broken ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.
