Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D ...

Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic tools sharpen, scientists are now tracing how inherited risk for depression is ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Gene regulation and chromatin dynamics constitute central themes in modern molecular biology, governing how the genetic blueprint is accessed and utilised during development, differentiation and ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...
