A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...

New data supports GraftAssure commercialization efforts Multi-center study featured 249 biopsy-matched patients Proprietary “Combination Model” ...

Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis. If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings ...

The investigations of KIT researchers have shown that biomolecular condensates enable fast yet reliable activation of the right genes. “Biomolecular condensates are tiny drops that form in specific ...
