Every cell in the human body faces a chronic challenge: protecting its DNA. Whenever cells divide, their genetic material must be copied accurately. But DNA is continuously under attack, and when ...

A mouse embryo has now been made to write its own family tree. A recording device called the DNA Typewriter, built in Jay Shendure’s laboratory at the University of Washington, kept a running log of ...

Scientists have traced the development of a mouse embryo from its first two cells to the formation of organs, using a ...

Scientists reconstructed a family tree of 1.28 million cells in a mouse embryo, revealing how cells develop into different ...

Engelman D, Hochstetter J, Bauduin A, et al. (Blanpain C, Simons BD Laboratory). "Sexual dimorphism in epidermal stem cell ...

Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing the family tree of cells in a developing mouse embryo. They recorded cells' relationships, starting when the fertilized egg first split in two and ending ...

Cells from rapidly growing, highly metastatic tumors often contain numerous rings of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). This ...

Study demonstrates enhanced immune cell activation in poultry, using scientific discovery that had been shelved for decades.

Scientists have discovered how pancreatic cancer cells continually reshape their genetic makeup to become more aggressive, ...

More than 30 years after the direct connection was established between the molecular machinery controlling cell division and ...

An animal chromatin-diminution review examines measured genome and nuclear changes in copepods while treating the functions ...

A molecular tracking technology called DNA Typewriter can record the cellular lineage of a mouse embryo, from a single cell to over a million.
