There’s a gene in our DNA that seems to come from an infection by an ancient virus—but no one knows its true purpose
You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep ...
A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...
Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...
A protein found in our cells has emerged as a secret weapon against biological aging, acting like a glue to repair damaged DNA and ward off neurological degeneration including that seen in motor ...
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 ...
