Researchers from the Mattiroli group have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself ...

Chromatin as a guide Every day, our cells divide. Each time they need to copy both their DNA and the structure in which the DNA is packed. This packaging, called chromatin, acts as a guide. It tells ...

Life Sciences Center (LSC) have discovered a unique way for cells to silence specific genes without cutting DNA. This ...

Every day, our cells divide. Each time they need to copy both their DNA and the structure in which the DNA is packed. This packaging, called chromatin, acts as a guide. It tells the cell how, where ...

Scientists at Vilnius University have developed a novel gene silencing method using a type IV-A CRISPR system that silences ...

Scientists have discovered a way to target elusive circular fragments of DNA that drive the survival of some of the most aggressive cancers, paving the way for future treatments.

The histone proteins of complex cells are named H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. They are assembled into groups of eight, around which a ...

The Earth BioGenome Project seeks to genetically profile over a million plants, animals, and fungi as they build an atlas of ...

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

A study described the three-dimensional architecture of turtle genomes, which fold in a configuration unlike any other animal observed so far.

The good news is that drugs called CHK1 inhibitors were found to selectively destroy tumor cells containing ecDNA in mice ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” ...
