Life begins with a quiet but precise choreography inside the nucleus. For decades, scientists believed that a newly fertilized egg started in disorder, its DNA loosely arranged and waiting for ...

Explore the decades-long journey to map the full human genome, from early breakthroughs to the first complete, gapless DNA ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

Discover how hidden complexities of the human genome are revealed by scientists from The Jackson Laboratory. Technological advancements are now allowing us to assemble continuous genomes with ...

CHICAGO --- In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed ...

In a major leap for genetics, scientists from MIT and UMass Medical School have uncovered how the human genome folds into a three-dimensional, knot-free structure, called a fractal globule, that ...

Over the course of three months, Professor Michael Levine’s lab at the Department of Molecular Biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics have published two papers elucidating the ...

When you think of a chromosome, you might imagine an X-shaped structure. But chromosomes take this shape only during cell division; the rest of the time, they adopt a structure that looks amorphous ...

HONG KONG – An international, multidisciplinary organizing committee has been appointed to plan the Second International Summit on Human Genome Editing, which will take place Nov. 27-29 in Hong Kong.
