This study produced a unique dataset that offers a genome-scale view of molecular changes that occur during cell division." "The yeast cell is a great model for eukaryotic biology," said Litsios.

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy.

For generations, a tiny piece of DNA has mastered the art of inheritance by hijacking the yeast cell’s division machinery, ...

In a breakthrough that could shed light on the inner workings of human cells and advance the understanding of rare genetic ...
