Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the ...
Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...
A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...
Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.
Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...
Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...
