The accurate distribution of chromosomes in an oocyte is essential for the correct transmission of genetic information to the ...

Some cancers and chronic inflammatory diseases are treated with immunotherapies. These stimulate the patient's immune system ...

On the path to better therapies: Researchers have established a direct link between centromeres and immunity for the first time.

University of Adelaide researchers discovered monotremes use a completely different sex determination system than other ...

This valuable study identifies asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) histones as potential determinants of the initial genomic binding of Rhino, a Drosophila-specific chromatin protein essential for ...

On the right, DNA sequence reads are represented as dots color-coded by chromosome. Genome organization is a feat of compaction, fitting 2 m of DNA into an oblong nucleus just a few dozen ...

Researchers from Geneseeq and a network of Chinese academic hospitals have validated a blood test that can detect a broad range of cancers with high accuracy using cell-free DNA. A multi-cancer ...

This Collection invites cell-free DNA research focusing on early cancer and minimal residual disease detection that centers on epigenomic features (i.e. methylation, fragmentomics).

Investigating how mutations in tumors alter DNA’s 3D structure—and subsequently, regulatory sequences called enhancers—can ...

A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from organelles to the nucleus in plants. Disruption of DSBR increases the risk ...
