A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, the widely ...

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

Advances in cell line engineering and microfluidic technologies offer substantial opportunities to shorten timelines in cell line development (CLD). However, as with any innovation, optimizing these ...
