University of Basel researchers used single-molecule chromatin tracing in C. elegans embryos to reveal three distinct types ...

Biologists have provided new insights on a longstanding puzzle in biology: How complex organisms arise from a single fertilized cell. Producing a new 'gene atlas' with 4-D imaging, the researchers ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells communicate with one another during this process through cell-surface ...
