Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and image tissues at microscopic resolution. However, it is a struggle to put all ...
In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a miniscule speck invisible to the naked eye—like compressing ...
Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of ...
Scientists using an AI-powered method have identified 14 distinct structural states of nucleosomes, challenging the ...
A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...
Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis. If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally ...
