Researchers often use a nematode worm called Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) to study human genetics .. | Cell And ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Researchers showed how what appears to be a tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published as two papers in Nature ...

The latest study from the Sharma Lab at UC Santa Cruz makes the mechanisms of how epigenetic information is established in sperm cells, and how that encoding affects offspring health, a little less of ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...
