Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key ...

Researchers used CRISPR to change the number of chromosomes in Arabidopsis by fusing chromosome arms, reducing the genome from ten to eight chromosomes. The plants grew normally but showed reduced ...

Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

Australian researchers have for the first time pinpointed specific genetic changes that increase the risk of severe, ...

A new study published in Nature Communications reveals the specific genetic factors linked to the presence of reticular ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for ...

EMBL researchers have created a new AI tool that uses a “molecular laser tag” approach to identify cells capable of revealing the earliest origins of cancer. The human body depends on accurate genetic ...

Cellular, animal and computational models of the disease are providing fresh insights into biology and treatment.

In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...
