Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

The organisation of the genome in three-dimensional space is a fundamental aspect of gene expression programmes that underlie cell fate and plasticity. Understanding 3D genome organisation is ...

The millions of different antibodies that help our immune system to fight infection are generated by cutting and pasting together only 200 genes in different combinations but the full picture on how ...
