引言在细胞每一次分裂、每一次应对内外环境挑战的喧嚣中，我们的基因组(genome)正经历着持续的修订、涂抹甚至撕裂。在癌症和许多先天性疾病的基因组中，我们常常能看到一些令人匪夷所思的混乱景象：染色体片段的诡异扩增、莫名其妙的序列插入、以及如同地震后断 ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

In a world flooded with data, figuring out where and how to store it efficiently and inexpensively becomes a larger problem every day. One of the most exotic solutions might turn out to be one of the ...

DNA and RNA vaccines use genetic material to deliver information to human cells and elicit an immune response. DNA vaccines are safe, easy, affordable to produce, and, unlike RNA vaccines, are stable ...
