Epigenetic regulation consists in chemical modifications on the proteins that organize DNA. Here, we show how it increases gene copies and rearranges the MLL...
Could the cellular mechanisms that cause sunburns help creating more stable therapeutics? Studying the effect of ultraviolet light on strands of DNA put...
Scientist are now able to modify the DNA of living organisms, thanks to the development of a new technology called CRISPR/Cas9. Recently, they designed a new...
We studied the genetic variation among people from diverse groups across the globe, to learn about the complex evolutionary history that has shaped our...
One of the most significant synthetic biology goals is the development of artificial lifelike structures that can reproduce themselves. One aspect of this is...
One of the most iconic images in biology is the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human cell. It is central to the paradigm of inheritance. Our recent findings...
Millions of Egyptian Sacred Ibis were found mummified and stored in vast catacombs. Thoth priests sold the mummified Ibis to pilgrims for offerings. Did they...
Anorexia nervosa is a deadly disorder marked by extremely low body weight, a fear of weight gain, and often an inability to appreciate the severity of the...
We identified a new type of source of ancient human genetic data. Our group extracted DNA from Mesolithic masticated lumps, made from distilled birch bark...
With low-cost protein expression technology, we developed cheap and easy-to-use kits to teach molecular biology lessons, allowing access to hands-on biology...
Known as the ‘molecule of life’, DNA is found in every cell in our body, providing a set of instructions for the function and organization throughout our...
Occasionally, nature comes up with a solution to a problem that is striking in its elegance. For example, generating copies of something too small to fit into...
