When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don’t undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

(Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

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 ageing, cancer, ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A new forensic process is helping investigators across Oklahoma identify remains in cold cases dating back decades — including a Canadian County case involving a woman who had ...

For years, the federal government has been amassing DNA profiles of noncitizens. But recently released Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data reveal that officials knowingly collected the DNA of ...

A modular metamaterial mimics DNA geometry to combine twist compression, tunable stiffness, fast recovery, and reusable shock absorption for robotics and impact systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Across ...

Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Joyce F. Liu discuss targeting DNA damage and repair and replication stress in endometrial cancer. Drs Ursula A. Matulonis and Panagiotis A. Konstantinopoulos discuss ...
