The goal of genome editing technology is to develop strategies for the correction of those mutations that are responsible of ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

DNA analysis is crucial for identifying individuals and their relatives, using technologies like PCR, electrophoresis, and ...

Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

A new study in the journal Human Gene Therapy indicates that DNA impurities derived from plasmid and host cell DNA are ...
