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 ...

By analyzing the flowerpot snake's unique genome, scientists are uncovering how the tiny reptile repairs its DNA and prevents harmful mutations. The findings provides valuable insights into genetic ...

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 ...

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 ...

By analyzing the flowerpot snake’s unique genome, scientists at The University of Texas at Arlington are uncovering how the tiny reptile repairs its DNA and prevents harmful mutations. The findings, ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell ...
