Ultra-deep long-read sequencing has delivered the first telomere-to-telomere sequence of the non-Mendelian ribosomal DNA ...

A cytogenetic study of 30 Quasipaa spinosa frogs from one Hunan farm found 26 chromosomes in both sexes, with nine ...

In cell division, one cell becomes two.”Your child might be able to answer up to this point.However, when it comes to questions about arranging diagrams of the division process in order or answering ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that can disrupt DNA replication at the ends of chromosomes, shedding new light on one of the most fundamental challenges faced by ...

"I've memorized 'meiosis.' But when asked about the number of chromosomes, I get it wrong."Have you ever felt that way when looking at your child's test answers?They know it "becomes half." But they ...

Meet Turritopsis dohrnii, a tiny jellyfish that can revert to an earlier stage of its life cycle when times are tough, offering insights into how to reverse aging.

Smallest archaeal genome ever recorded: Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, found in Pacific Ocean plankton, encodes only 189 proteins -- fewer than many viruses -- but retains its own ribosomes, qualifying it ...

The ATR–ATRIP kinase complex safeguards genome integrity by coordinating cellular responses to DNA damage and replication stress. Two recent cryo-EM studies resolve the structural basis of ATR–ATRIP ...

CD BioSciences, a service provider supporting biological aging research, recently announced its telomere length analy ...

DNA can be more than just a double helix. When four strands are folded into a compact bundle, they form a G-quadruplex (G4). These bundles form in guanine-rich regions across the genome, including ...

More than 250 million people carry hepatitis B virus, and roughly a million die from it each year. The drugs we have suppress the virus but ...
