Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions ...
A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...
The function of an enzyme, critical to most forms of life, has been revealed. The function of an enzyme, critical to most forms of life, has been revealed. A research team, led by the John Innes ...
The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...
Within the nucleus of every cell are long strings of DNA, the code that holds all the information needed to make and control every cell within a living organism. DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic ...
Researchers in Japan have discovered that the local DNA motion inside of human cells remains steady throughout interphase, where the cell grows and replicates its DNA for cell division. The study ...
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 ...
