Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

Single-cell RNA transcriptomics allows researchers to broadly profile the gene expression of individual cells in a particular tissue. This technique has allowed researchers to identify new subsets of ...

Applying single-cell RNA sequencing has led researchers to be able to profile the entire transcriptome of cells. However, these transcriptomes prove difficult to link back to their original location ...
