The new workflow was adapted from an enzymatic DNA tagging technology, DNA-TAG, previously developed in the Devaraj lab. In ...

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in cooperation with national and international research groups, have ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

From middle school biology we were always taught that the nucleus is the “control center” of the cell, similar to how the brain is the control center of our own bodies. At first glance this makes a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...
