A protein is colored according to whether it localizes to the replication fork (red), nucleosome (green), kinetochore (blue) or other chromosome components (yellow). We obtained these localization ...

With the technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), scientists can make multiple copies of a specific genetic sequence within DNA. PCR is a powerful tool for researchers because it allows ...

The team asserts that this work has brought the field a step closer to understanding both how information can spread along chromosomes and how cells can measure their own components. More ...
