When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

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 ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...
