If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible. “It’s as ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

Faithful DNA replication is essential for cell survival and genome stability. However, DNA replication faces continual challenges from DNA damage, as well as intrinsic and extrinsic stressors. For ...

DNA replication is a fundamental cellular process that ensures the faithful duplication of the genome during cell division. However, this process is frequently challenged by various intrinsic and ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
