An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...
Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as ...
(Nanowerk News) If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell ...
Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells ...
An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...
Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks ...
When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example, DNA damage ...
After a finite number of divisions, cells simply give up. As each round of replication trims their telomeres—the protective ...
Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer.
Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...
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 ...
