The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

A game-changining achievement in genome science has identified over 140,000 distinct DNA loops in our cells, providing chromosome fold resolution that is among the best ever created. In this ongoing ...

The centromere is necessary for the transport of chromosomes during cell division and, therefore, for the correct ...

Here’s a quick reality check: ice cream sales go up in summer, and so do drownings. But no one thinks Ben & Jerry's is a silent killer. It’s correlation, not causation. Yet this same logical ...

In about one out of every 800 people, two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. These are known as Robertsonian chromosomes. It's a mystery that has long stumped scientists. Now, ...

DNA packaging structure. Animation of chromosomes and chromatin structure with histones. A very interesting video that allows you to focus on the details and see the structure. This image was not ...

Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...

Researchers identify a novel centromere-specific histone H3 variant called the “CENP-A”, which reconstituted with H4 forms “CENP-A–H4” octasome and explore its role in mitosis. Centromeres, ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...
