Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), they captured the real-time process of ...

Rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation are the three most common types of damp for residential properties. Each needs to be treated in different ways, and damp repair costs can vary ...

Chromosomes are the carrier of our genomic information and hold vital clues of the evaluation and therapeutic outcome of breast cancer. “In an innovative approach, our study explores how VPA ...

The planned changes include reinstating a version of chromosome testing that was discontinued in the 1990s, requiring athletes who compete in the female category to submit to a cheek swab or dry blood ...

Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how chromosomes change shape during cell division. Certain protein complexes help fold DNA into ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a groundbreaking method called LoopTrace. By observing overlapping DNA loops ...

Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the dormant X get "reawakened" later in life, potentially giving the brain a boost.

Longtime DC Comics fans know how complex their continuity is. And that’s putting it mildly. While their rival Marvel Comics has had a pretty linear continuity since its inception, DC has ...

During condensation, water changes between gaseous, liquid, and solid forms. While transforming from one state to another, the water molecule arrangement also changes.
