what traits, skills and behaviours we value and reward; and how social structures of our own making have the power to shape our DNA.

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

"Andreas and I were now able to visualize the structure of chromosomes as they started to change shape," said Beckwith. "This was crucial for understanding how the DNA was folded by the condensin ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...
