Ultra-deep long-read sequencing has delivered the first telomere-to-telomere sequence of the non-Mendelian ribosomal DNA ...
Almost every cell in our body contains around two meters (6.6 feet) of DNA, packed into a tiny nucleus. Yet for the cell to ...
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
A new BMC Biology study shows that chromosomal inversions in Anopheles mosquitoes reshape 3D genome folding and rewire ...
Human DNA, which is approximately two meters in length, is organized into a compact, thread-like structure known as the chromatin, so it could fit into the nucleus, a tiny sphere that’s only about six ...
A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

An ancient virus left its mark on chimpanzee DNA even after millions of years and may have helped shape human brain evolution
Millions of years ago, a virus infected the ancestors of chimpanzees and left behind a genetic souvenir. Humans never ...
Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...
Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...
