The human genome is about two meters long, yet it fits inside a nucleus only ~10 micrometers in diameter. A research team led ...

Within the realm of genetic regulation, chromatin modifications such as histone methylation and acetylation play pivotal roles in the transcriptional control of genes. Disruptions in these processes ...

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

Using CRISPR, multiomics, and machine learning, molecular biologist Larschan unravels the mysteries of the X chromosome.

KO imaging screens reveal that disruption of mitotic processes impairs spatial genome organization in daughter cells.

If I asked you, dear reader, to come up with a shortlist of the most monumental scientific achievements of the last century, chances are the Human Genome Project (HGP) would appear somewhere on that ...

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

Every cell in your body faces the same engineering puzzle: how to cram roughly two meters of DNA into a nucleus just a few ...

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...
