One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about 0.01 mm in size, it must be tightly folded. DNA wraps around proteins call ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Researchers discover that insect sex systems influence the speed of mitochondrial evolution, impacting biodiversity tracking ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...

Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple loop at the cell’s center. A giant microbe called Thiovulum imperiosus has now ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to map the 3D organization of the human genome and how it changes over time, ...

This study offers important insight into the pathogenic basis of intragenic frameshift deletions in the carboxy-terminal domain of MECP2, which account for some Rett syndrome cases, yet similar ...

Through a recent notice, the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has ...

Triglia discusses her research at the intersection of genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics and computational biology.
