At meeting on human embryo editing, CRISPR pioneer says science is a long way from knowing if germline DNA can be safely ...

A new multi-generational study suggests that the effects of violence can remain in your genes—and be passed down to future ...

Trump misstated $8 million spent on transgender mice, sparking debate on transgenic research and its importance in science.

The study, which was published in Nature Plants, found that within this preparation process, a single female germline cell is ...

An organism’s DNA starts off in one lonely cell containing the germline DNA passed down from the previous generation. Through many rounds of cell division, new somatic cells emerge that contain ...

contains two different cell types- germ cells that will eventually become sperm and somatic cells that support the germline within the niche and as germ cell differentiate. Our lab has identified ...

Officials at ARM, ASGCT, and ISCT convened a small group of scientists, policy experts, religious leaders and patient ...

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

With this approach, we have determined that unusual DNA structures (i.e., palindromes, as well as double-strand breaks) stimulate germline recombination events to a high degree (Akgün et al. Mol Cell ...

Epigenetics is the study of how cells control gene activity without ... evidence that early life stress influences the paternal germline epigenome and supports a possible effect in modulating ...
