Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level. In a ...

Gene regulation and chromatin dynamics constitute central themes in modern molecular biology, governing how the genetic blueprint is accessed and utilised during development, differentiation and ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...

Influenza A virus (IAV) possesses a segmented, negative-sense RNA genome comprising eight distinct viral RNA (vRNA) segments. These segments form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes that are selectively ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...
