A groundbreaking cattle genome has given researchers their clearest look yet at what makes Wagyu beef so special. By ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA ...

DNA analysis of cultural artifacts shows diverse biological profiles, but contamination and mixed signals complicate ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of ...

The initiation of chromosome replication is exquisitely regulated in both time and location. It has been estimated that there are 200-400 autosomal replication sequence elements (ARSs) in the yeast ...

Ensuring that DNA replication occurs at the right stage of the cell cycle is of crucial importance in biology. In bacteria, DNA replication begins with the assembly of a DNA-protein complex called the ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy. Using yeast, the researchers ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...
