It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

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

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...
