A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

Visualization of the genome (green) and a single gene (magenta) in a human cell nucleus, with genomic motions mapped by arrows and an example of a gene trajectory highlighted as a colored curve.

Each day, a human adult loses on average 50 to 70 billion cells, which die from natural causes alone. New cells replace lost ...

Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be arranged into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair carries the same types of genes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes: In females ...

One of the key challenges of the modern genomics era is studying the thousands of genes in a single human cell at scale. To ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

This process typically takes place in the nucleus, so the cytoplasmic cDNA lacked an explanation. After detecting cDNA of Alu, the most abundant retrotransposon in the human genome, in the cytoplasm ...

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like ...

However, Thomson's use of spare human embryos provided by the ... taken from the recipient individual, its nucleus inserted into an enucleated egg cell that is stimulated to begin dividing ...

A novel technique to visualize gene-active and gene-repressive DNA regions in living cells, developed by a ...
