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 ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

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 ...

Human egg cells are often prone to chromosomal errors. As women age, the error rate increases sharply — and can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and ...

Researchers at Google Quantum AI have used their Willow quantum computer to help interpret data from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a mainstay of chemistry and biology research. The ...

The debate about AI’s impact on consulting tends to swing between two extremes: Some argue that AI will render consultants obsolete; others claim it will only make them more indispensable. Both views ...

Pranam Chatterjee, PhD, assistant professor of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), emphasizes that text is all you need for artificial intelligence (AI) models to effectively ...
