Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

Cells duplicate and condense their DNA prior to entering mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes attach to a spindle of microtubules that distribute them equally to two daughter cells.

A breakthrough in safely delivering therapeutic DNA to cells could transform treatment for millions suffering from common chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

However, when cells are replicating ... Sanger sequencing uses electrophoresis to draw DNA molecules through a gel filter, ...

all the way down to the level of the atoms that make up a single DNA base. The human body contains about 100 trillion cells, each working together in a complex symphony of interactions.

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

Likewise, demethylated DNA does not draw deacetylating enzymes to the histones ... in that it gives eukaryotic cells the capability to exert complex levels of control over gene expression.
