Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea ...

The genome structure—how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism—is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms.

Now, a stage in this process has been achieved in yeast cells — an entire yeast chromosome has been converted to a synthetic sequence in a stepwise manner. A quote by the theoretical physicist ...

Using third-generation metagenomics, researchers from the Department of Plant Production and Microbiology at the Miguel ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC ...

The gene editor -- called evoCAST -- goes a long way toward solving a problem that has confounded the development of gene therapies from the field's beginnings: How to add long stretches of DNA to ...

and defects in chromosome structure (structural anomalies). These can be diagnosed by cytogenetic study (karyotype analysis) of virtually any tissue type. Numerical chromosomal abnormalities ...

bonelike structure. “We’re not the first ones to biomineralize something and call it a building material. … But if you want to keep (the bacteria) alive for longer so that you can do more ...

Abstract Faithful chromosome segregation requires the removal of all DNA bridges physically linking chromatids before the completion of cell division ...
