Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...
Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.
Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...
Plasmids, small circular DNA molecules found in bacteria, may contain antibiotic-resistance genes and have the ability to replicate independently. Bacteria can transfer these plasmids to one another, ...
In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...
New research shows hydroxyurea reshapes DNA replication in cancer cells, revealing stress responses that may help design ...
How does DNA structure itself from the very first moments of life? A team of researchers has just observed that DNA adopts a defined three-dimensional architecture much more rapidly than ...
