Snake-like proteins can wrangle DNA Study reveals details about how coiled coils may coil again to direct chromosome process Date: January 2, 2020 Source: Rice University Summary: Theoretical ...

A group of Chinese scientists has created powerful new tools that allow them to edit large chunks of DNA with incredible ...

Breakthrough AI-powered genome editing tools now enable full chromosome manipulation—ushering in a new era of gene therapy and bioethics.

A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese ...

Specialised protein machines called SMC complexes (Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes) play a critical role in these processes. Just a few years ago, scientists at Delft and other places discovered ...

Particularly difficult DNA repair cases are now known to be transported to the inner edge of the nucleus, to be fixed by a ...

This narrated animation illustrates the process of protein synthesis, starting with chromosomal DNA inside the cell's nucleus. A gene is transcribed into messenger RNA, which leaves the nucleus ...

In one experiment, she destroyed this protein in a human cell to observe its effect on the cell cycle. As if by elaborate choreography, the resulting cell's chromosomes would refold.

To keep the protein-DNA bonds stable, they used ultraviolet (UV) light, which induces crosslinks between proteins and DNA in vitro. 1 “Every lab that worked with DNA at the time had one of these ...
