A French research team led by CNRS scientists has discovered that cells are able to retain a memory of a previous perturbation within the 3D structure of their genome, independently of their DNA ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

PacBio launched CiFi, a method combining 3C and HiFi long-read sequencing to generate chromosome scale, haplotype resolved genome assemblies in one run.

If I asked you, dear reader, to come up with a shortlist of the most monumental scientific achievements of the last century, chances are the Human Genome Project (HGP) would appear somewhere on that ...

MENLO PARK, Calif., Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB), developer of the world's most advanced sequencing technologies, today announced CiFi, a new community-developed method that ...

Researchers are making strides in understanding how chromosome structures change throughout the cell's life cycle. Researchers at Rice University are making strides in understanding how chromosome ...

Over the past few decades, advances in hematology have illuminated how a delicate balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation sustains healthy blood formation. In myelodysplastic ...

A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA – its genome – and segregate it equally ...

AMES, Iowa – In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules hold massive troves of genetic data providing instructions for how living organisms should function – the blueprint of life. How the ...
