Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and ...

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 ...

Mission Bio, the single-cell multi-omics leader, today released data showing that its Targeted Single-Cell DNA+RNA Assay ...

Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a minuscule 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 years later. Scientists have now discovered that a molecular system once ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer. This allows bacteria to rapidly evolve new traits, such as antibiotic ...

Functional analysis of the LEM-3 protein and the roles of its domains using the C. elegans model. (A) Evidence shows that LEM-3 accumulates at DNA bridges remaining between daughter cells during the ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...
