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

A study by researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center published in Nature revises the standard story about transcription factors ...

“Instead of floating freely and risking uneven distribution, the 2-micron plasmid has evolved a clever trick of hitchhiking,” ...

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

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown ...

By mimicking the spatial and temporal regulation of plant biosynthesis, they designed a system with obligated mutualism, enabling metabolic division ... cooperative yeast cell systems to ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Chromosomes form rod-shaped structures during cell division through a process involving DNA loop formation. Using a new chromatin tracing method, researchers ...

Misfolding of proteins in the ER result in aggregate formation, but how the aggregates are processed especially during cell division is not well understood. Here, we induced proteostatic stress and ...
