Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

A mathematical model provides new insights into the distribution of genetic information during bacterial cell division The precise segregation of DNA and the faithful inheritance of plasmids are ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

Researchers have found that remnants left over after a cell divides contain RNA that, when taken up by other cells, can spread cancer’s genetic blueprint. The finding opens the door to harnessing this ...

Arteriovenous malformations, a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, may be driven by endothelial cell-cycle acceleration via CDK6, suggesting potential for repurposing CDK6 inhibitors.

One of the most abundant living organisms on Earth may also be one of the most vulnerable. A group of ocean bacteria known as ...

For the first cell to develop into an entire organism, genes, RNA molecules and proteins have to work together in a complex way. At first, this process is indirectly controlled by the mother. At a ...
