One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

The centromere is necessary for the transport of chromosomes during cell division and, therefore, for the correct ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about ...

This article explores how single-cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics are illuminating early pregnancy, uncovering ...

Scientists identify measurable cellular changes that flag higher cancer risk more than a decade before tumors appear. In A ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

(WBL), a leader in native, long-read sequencing and epigenomic analysis, today announced a co-marketing agreement with Agilent Technologies to support the adoption of its Direct Targeted Methylation ...
