Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

Real image of DNA molecules being copied in human cells, visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy. The yellow arrows mark where replication begins, and the white arrows indicate the direction in ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

The graphic shows images of a cell under mtDNA replication stress made using so-called Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (for short: CLEM). The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, green) is ejected from ...

Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...
