Chromosomes are cellular structures that contain the genetic material. A chromosome is comprised of a single DNA molecule that may be either circular or linear. The full complement of a cell s ...

Open2C is a community that develops and maintains open-source tools for 3D chromosome biology and genomic data science, primarily in Python.

In 1896, in his seminal work “The Cell in Development and Inheritance”, the cell biologist Edmund B. Wilson formulated a ...

“This work is really important because the X chromosome has largely been excluded from genetic studies in the past,” said Amy Roberts, a molecular epidemiologist at King’s College London who was not ...

Science DNA breaks are toxic lesions for the cell. In order to repair these breaks, it is necessary, starting from the break ends, to find a homologous sequence within the vastness of the genome. In ...
