Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide.

The new perspective involves a basic dichotomy: The human genome is about six feet long when the DNA is stretched end to end, ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread. A new study also shows that an already approved drug could help strengthen immune defenses -- though its ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester have changed our understanding of how cells in living organisms divide, which ...

With heartfelt reflections on Nucleus Software's journey and a forward-looking vision rooted in technological purpose and human-centric progress, his words set a thoughtful and energizing tone for ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg.
