Researchers from the Kind Group have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study ...

When you think of a chromosome, you might imagine an X-shaped structure. But chromosomes take this shape only during cell division; the rest of the time, they adopt a structure that looks amorphous ...

Scientists discover hidden DNA scaffolding that forms before genes activate, revealing life’s blueprint is built before it begins.

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

In an article published in Molecular Cell, scientists have discovered how the three-dimensional organization of DNA in our ...

In a discovery that could redefine how we understand cellular resilience and adaptability, scientists have unlocked the secret interactions between a primordial inorganic polymer of phosphate known as ...
