Scientists discover hidden DNA scaffolding that forms before genes activate, revealing life’s blueprint is built before it begins.

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilized egg as a structural "blank slate"—a disordered tangle of DNA waiting for the embryo to wake up and start reading its own genetic ...

C, a tool that helps reveal the genome's structure during the first days of life.

A team of Moroccan and international researchers has produced the first near-complete, chromosome-scale genome of the argan tree, a development expected to advance conservation and breeding efforts ...

An early Drosophila embryo captured during a wave of nuclear division. Dividing nuclei (blue) and non-dividing nuclei (pink) illustrate the rapid, highly organised nature of early development and the ...
