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

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

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 ...

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

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

Scientists have uncovered how a newly discovered gene, NEK1, in which mutations have been linked to ALS cases, disrupts the function of the motor neuron and causes it to degenerate and die. The viral ...

For the first time, quarks and gluons were used to describe properties of atomic nuclei, which until now had been explained by the existence of protons and neutrons. The temporary pair of correlated ...
