A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

The researchers analyzed changes to gene expression in ecDNA formed by HPV and human DNA hybridization in oropharyngeal tumor ...

Chen et al. (2025) present Nanopore Rolling Circle Amplification (RCA)-enhanced Consensus Sequencing (NanoRCS), which uses RCA and consensus calling based on genome-wide long-read nanopore sequencing ...

An international team of researchers co-led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, have identified rules that ...

In all, they collected data that covers about 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring in a part of the brain that processes visual information from the eyes. Listen to Story They worked out the ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion ... the ...

This competition, or arms race, is typically hard to observe–except when the genes in question live on the X and Y chromosomes, which determine the sex of offspring in mammals. In mice, this arms race ...

Professor Lucy Wedderburn (UCL GOS Institute of Child Health) and Dr Lizzy Rosser (UCL Division of Medicine) discuss their new study finding that an abundance of key immune cells may be influenced by ...

Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how chromosomes change shape during cell division. Certain protein complexes help fold DNA into ...

To achieve cell-scale chromosome structures that are realistic, we model the chromosome as a self-avoiding homopolymer with bending and torsional stiffnesses that capture the essential mechanical ...
