Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...
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 ...
Diagrams: Short section of DNA, 1951 -- Chemical structures of the DNA bases, 1951 -- Covalent bonds of the sugar-phosphate backbone -- Schematic view of a nucleotide -- Mg** ions binding phosphate ...
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
New research shows hydroxyurea reshapes DNA replication in cancer cells, revealing stress responses that may help design ...
A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...
