Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies published in the journals Science ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The oldest sediment DNA discovered so far comes from Greenland and is 2 million years old.

DNA replication is a complex process with many moving parts. In baker's yeast, the molecular complex Ctf18-RFC keeps parts of the replication machinery from falling off the DNA strand. Human cells use ...
