We can use this technology to build a map of what’s going on in there and better understand when things are disorganized like ...

An analysis of tissue samples from nearly 1,200 older adults found that the more insertions individuals had, the younger they died.

By turning droplets into tools for physically repositioning DNA, scientists can now explore gene expression with ...

Scientists used light-activated droplets to reposition DNA, offering new insights into gene expression and disease treatment.

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

Mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the nucleus, the study found ... the transfer of DNA from mitochondria to the human genome was a rare occurrence," says Martin ...

In every human cell, almost all the DNA – around 6 billion letters of it – is found within the nucleus. But the energy-generating organelles called mitochondria have their own tiny genome ...

which help condense nearly six feet of human genomic DNA into a nucleus only 10 micrometers across. During mitosis, DNA condenses before being divided between two daughter cells. A protein complex ...

These alterations are too small and subtle for human observers to find ... with nanoscale-resolution images of the nucleus of many different types of cells in different states.

The work represents a new way to probe the genome. Shown here, from an unrelated study, are chromosomes (blue) inside a human cell nucleus. With the flick of a light, researchers have found a way ...

Human cells must fit 23 pairs of these chromosomes, collectively called the genome, into each cell's nucleus. Hence the need for tight coiling. Since DNA is both a carrier of information and a ...
