If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...
High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...
When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...
Study finds CRISPR/Cas gene editing causes “chromatin fatigue” – another surprise mechanism by which it can produce unwanted ...
The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Scientists identify a non-coding gene that directly controls how big cells grow
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...
Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...
