Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...
In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three ...
The model has the potential to transform the ability to study telomere biology, learn more about human aging, and ultimately help people preserve better health as they age.
In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...
Researchers found that SMC proteins drive bacterial DNA separation by compacting chromosomes lengthwise, generating repulsive ...
RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production.
The investigations of KIT researchers have shown that biomolecular condensates enable fast yet reliable activation of the right genes. “Biomolecular condensates are tiny drops that form in specific ...
