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 ...

The DNA from a single human cell would stretch about two meters if pulled into a line
Stretched into a single line, the DNA packed inside one human cell would reach roughly two meters, yet it folds into a nucleus just 5 to 10 micrometers wide. That compression ratio, on the order of ...
A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that ...
DNA methylation (DNAm) is a key epigenetic mark that shows profound alterations in cancer. Read-level methylomes enable more in-depth analyses, due to their broad genomic coverage and preservation of ...
Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...
As newborn neurons make their way through the developing brain, they must squeeze through incredibly tight spaces to reach their final destinations. Researchers discovered that this physical journey ...
