Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...

An international research team led by Hiroki Shibuya at RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan has ...

Researchers have identified the exact DNA sequence where human chromosomes fuse to form Robertsonian chromosomes, a phenomenon known for over a century but never explained. Using long-read sequencing, ...

What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...

A new study has revealed that the gene HMGN1 is a key driver of congenital heart defects (CHDs) in Down syndrome. Using ...

Scientists discover a byproduct of sucralose that can damage DNA, raising new questions about the safety of artificial ...
