"We are finding the 3D structure of the genome," said Satoshi Namekawa, professor of microbiology and molecular genetics at ...

This odd arrangement, the authors found, influences the three-dimensional structure of the entire chromosome. “This is definitely a breakthrough within the field. We’ve been generating assemblies for ...

The previously largest genome sequence of the Australian lungfish ... genome of the lungfish is unexpectedly stable and the gene arrangement is surprisingly conservative. This fact enabled ...

The sequenced genome of the brittle star revealed unique gene arrangements and provides insights into ancient genes involved in limb regeneration. Sneha Khedkar is an Assistant Editor at The Scientist ...

The echidna genome sequence provided here helps researchers trace the genetic events that led to this remarkable chromosomal arrangement. The high-quality sequence with very few gaps presented ...

Indeed, it is possible to reorder these ancestral syntenic fragments into their simplest arrangement, thereby recreating the ancestral genome (Figure 3). In the near future, with the availability ...

Each cell of the human body contains two meters of DNA. The whole secret lies in the intricate three-dimensional arrangement that allows DNA strands to be efficiently organized and compacted ...

Genome and mutations DNA replication is carefully controlled to preserve the genetic information. However, changes in the genome do sometimes occur. These changes are known as mutations.

Although this global arrangement allows insights into chromatin ... Yijun Ruan and Edwin Cheung from the Genome Institute of Singapore were interested in these functional relationships between ...
