The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Differences in the expression and splicing of genes are important drivers of trait variation both within and between species. In humans, many of the foundational studies exploring this variation have ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own version. Cornell researchers have discovered that DNA packaging structures ...

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...
