Plastic chemicals may harm DNA, as new research reveals how additives disrupt nematode egg formation, suggesting risks to ...

This important study reveals a role for IκBα in the regulation of embryonic stem cell pluripotency. The solid data in mouse embryonic stem cells include separation of function mutations in IκBα to ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

An AI foundation model capable of predicting gene activity across many different human cell types may expedite research for ...

New research from the Center for Physical Genomics and Engineering uncovers how 3D genome structures generate cellular memories, paving the way for advances in medicine and longevity through cellular ...

Centromeres play a crucial role in cell division, with CENH3 guiding retrotransposon Tal1 integration, revealing insights ...

A structural abnormality can include an alteration to the structure of the chromosome, as the name suggests. However, a numerical abnormality means that an individual is either missing one of the ...

The centromere of chromosomes plays a crucial role in cell division. Using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, an international team of researchers has investigated how two crucial proteins -- KNL2 ...

Scientists found that healthy women can carry genetic changes in their breast cells that are thought to be characteristic of invasive breast cancer.

The mechanism promoting mixing is the presence of non-specific interactions between chromatin and proteins, which become increasingly important as clusters become larger. This result, that we observe ...
