Depending on the setting, the ability of a crucial bacterium in biotechnology—Agrobacterium tumefaciens—to transfer its DNA ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Motor proteins are tiny "machines" inside cells that use chemical energy to move along molecular tracks and carry out ...

Researchers have made a surprising new discovery in the structure of the centromere, a structure that is involved in ensuring that chromosomes are segregated properly when a cell divides. Mistakes in ...

Researchers have identified the exact DNA sequence where human chromosomes fuse to form Robertsonian chromosomes, a ...

Researchers have created human embryos by taking nuclei from ordinary skin cells, placing them into donated eggs, and ...

During sexual reproduction, haploid gametes (i.e. eggs and sperm) are generated from diploid precursors through the specialized cell division of meiosis. Meiosis reduces ploidy by following one round ...
