A recent study published in Cell investigates how lamina-associated domains (LADs) contribute to nuclear genome organization in early-stage mouse embryos. Focusing on the zygote and two-cell stages, ...

Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Efforts to observe chicken embryonic development date back to Aristotle date back to 300 BC. However, because the chicken's eggshell is opaque, it has been necessary to break the shell ...

The creation of a woolly-mouse embryo marks a significant leap in the field of de-extinction, bringing us one step closer to reviving the iconic woolly mammoth. By combining advanced gene-editing ...

The research team discovered that glassware used to manipulate and culture fertilized eggs in the fields of assisted reproductive technology (ART), livestock farming, and basic research contains toxic ...

Mouse embryos have been cultured on the International Space Station (ISS) for the first time to explore whether it might be safe for humans to become pregnant in space. “There is a possibility of ...
