Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

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 ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...

Adrian Woolfson, MD, PhD, says biology is becoming a general design and manufacturing platform poised to unlock a multi-trillion-dollar bioeconomy. Key to this transition will be the ability to write ...

VIENNA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ribbon Bio GmbH, the DNA synthesis company, today announced the launch of MiroSynth™ DNA, its first commercial product designed to meet the growing demand for complex and ...

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ansa Biotechnologies, Inc., the trusted partner for complex DNA synthesis, today announced that it can now deliver its Ansa Clonal DNA product in lengths up to 5 ...
