The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene activity—across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of ...

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

When scientists want to trace how a species has changed over time—and predict its prospects for survival—they turn to DNA. But what if the genetic map guiding them belongs to the wrong animal? Lycium ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification crucial to normal development, with its dysregulation leading to various diseases including cancer. As interest in epigenomics grows, an innovative ...
