They are formed in a woman's body before birth and have to be on standby for decades to possibly be fertilized one day. But ...

can also be located in the cell nucleus, where the genetic material resides. Remarkably, nuclear Talin-1 was shown to influence the expression of genes that regulate cell-to-cell connections.

Pancreatic cancer’s deadly resilience may be tied to extrachromosomal DNA, which allows tumor cells to rapidly adapt to ...

One hypothesis is that the DNA loops could determine which genes are switched on in the cell. Inside a nucleus, chromosomes jumble together like a game of Twister. This can bring regulatory elements, ...

Transposons, also known as jumping genes or mobile genetic elements as they can replicate and reinsert themselves in the ...

HIV inserts its genes into the host cell's nucleus in an unusual way. It doesn't import its RNA genetic material piecemeal. Instead, it stuffs its whole wedge-shaped capsid—basically the whole ...

Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have discovered an overlooked mechanism driving aggressive breast and brain tumors ...
