How is all of that DNA packaged so tightly into chromosomes and squeezed into a tiny nucleus? Histones are a family of small, positively charged proteins termed H1, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 (Van Holde ...

How did humans evolve brains capable of complex language, civilization, and more? The answer could lie in exceptional DNA.

This means that chromosomal DNA must be replicated only once per cell cycle. To ensure that this is the case, bacterial, archaeal and eukaryotic cells have evolved sophisticated regulatory ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro ...

How did humans evolve brains capable of complex language, civilization, and more? Scientists at UC San Francisco recently ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro ...

Researchers led by Prof. TONG Minghan from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with Prof. HUANG Ying from Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai ...

Decades ago, researchers showed that Down syndrome (also known as trisomy 21), was caused when individuals carried an extra ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

A study of artificial human and chimpanzee nerve cells revealed how faster-evolving DNA gives neurons the ability to build ...

This valuable work extends previous studies to convincingly show that the centromere-histone core contributes to force transduction through the kinetochore. The centromere mainly strengthens one of ...

Scientists are exploring gene editing as a way to correct trisomy at the cellular level. Using CRISPR-Cas9, researchers ...
