Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

理化学研究所（理研）生命医科学研究センタートランスクリプトーム研究チームのアレッサンドロ・ボネッティ客員研究員、ピエロ・カルニンチチームリーダーらの研究チームは、細胞核内のRNAとゲノムDNA（クロマチン[1] ）の相互作用をゲノム全体で調べる ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...
