The ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, shorten with age. They function like a molecular clock for the cell. Premature ...

By exploiting the genetic variation in cancer cells, an already approved cancer drug demonstrated enhanced effects against ...

Some chromosomes, such as B chromosomes, can increase their inheritance rate to their own advantage. These extra chromosomes are found in many plants, animals, and fungi and rely upon various ...

Scientists warn that 'testicle mutations' could eradicate men. Given that experts claim testicles are crucial in developing ...

In a recent paper published in the journal Genome Research, experts described the chromatin arrangement in the genomes of two ...

Studies suggest the cell is more interconnected than previously thought, opening up "exciting possibilities for science and medicine." ...

“This work is really important because the X chromosome has largely been excluded from genetic studies in the past,” said Amy ...

To understand the workings of DNA in relation to disease, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed the first multimodal deep learning model of its kind, EPBDxDNABERT-2, capable of ...

Some chromosomes, such as B chromosomes, can increase their inheritance rate to their own advantage. These extra chromosomes ...

As cells divide and replicate, DNA strands coiled around proteins – chromatin – are in tightly bundled chromosomes. After division, the chromosomes loosen and chromatin is less compact. How and where ...

DNA catapults into spotlight. A trio of research papers from Stanford Medicine researchers and their international collaborators transforms scientists’ understanding of how small DNA circles — until ...
