It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

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

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
