What Limits a Genome’s Size?

And what they found, remarkably, is the world’s largest genome ; each fern cell contains 160.45 billion bases of DNA which, if unfurled, would extend for more than 100 meters—taller than the Statue of Liberty. billion bases of DNA, the human genome measures just 2 meters in length when stretched end-to-end.

For his postdoctoral stay he joined the group of André Nussenzweig, where he started to work on DNA repair, particularly focusing on the role of histone H2AX. Since 2015 Oscar is also the Vice Director of CNIO as well as Director of its Molecular Oncology Programme, and professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden.

Reinventing the small molecule toolbox: from proteins to RNA

Dark Matter Blog

Prior to 2015, I had a casual relationship, at best, with targeting RNA. Targeting RNA is a Whole New World Then in 2015, I became smitten and eloped with RNA, setting out to build a company devoted to bringing to bear industrial drug discovery concepts and methods on a new problem of drugging RNA with small molecules.

In contrast, non-coding mutations have effects on gene expression, transcript stability, and the physical state of the DNA itself (e.g., whitehouse.gov [link] (2015). Nature 526 , 68–74 (2015). Network expansion of genetic associations defines a pleiotropy map of human cell biology.  Jaccard, E.,

Making Eggs Without Ovaries

A meiotic cell nucleus beneath the microscope. The first reliable protocols to differentiate human iPSCs into PGC-like cells in vitro were published in 2015. During this process, the cells’ genomes ditch their methyl groups, an important epigenetic mark. The most important step seems to be erasing DNA methylation.
