Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome in its entirety. That is, ...

An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using ...

What should researchers know about host cell DNA contamination risks in cell and gene therapies? ... which are derived from Chinese hamster ovaries and are popular due to their low chromosome ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes.
