Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes.

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...

Scientists study a molecular machine that moves jumping genes in DNA, paving the way for a new gene editing tool beyond ...
