※ Affiliations and titles are as of the end of the research activity. This research area aims to elucidate basic principles in relation to the structure and function of genomes (the principle of ...

The ability to explore the genome on a sub-nucleosome level promises to lead to new discoveries about how chromatin structure is linked to epigenetics ...

Highly organised gene patterns and rod-shaped chromosomes set the genome of one species of dinoflagellates apart from other eukaryotes. “The genome for S. microadriaticum had already been sequenced ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living ...

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...

University of Wisconsin researchers Sushmita Roy and Erika Da-Inn Lee have developed a new computational tool that maps changes in the genome, ultimately helping researchers see DNA’s 3D organization ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Revising Higher Biology? Check your understanding of cellular differentiation and the structure of the genome with this quiz.

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 ...
