A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...
What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...
Reporting in Nature, scientists have identified a novel process that protects the ends of chromosomes from incorrectly applied DNA repair. Although DNA repair is a crucial mechanism that can protect a ...
New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...
Mitochondria release segments of mitochondrial DNA that can travel through pores of the nucleus and integrate into a cell's chromosomes (where the insertions are called NUMTs, for nuclear ...
Scientists have used human skin cells to produce functional eggs using a new scientific technique they say could one day help ...
Frogs have made significant contributions to Fred Hutch science over the years as a model organism that shares much of our ...
A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...
