Despite the immense amount of genetic material present in each cell, around 3 billion base pairs in humans, this material ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London identified the CIP2A–TOPBP1 complex as a master regulator of DNA repair during mitosis, coordinating backup pathways that protect chromosomes ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

"Telomeres are special (genetic) sequences found at the ends of chromosomes, which are very long DNA molecules. Telomeres are ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...

Researchers discovered that pressure and cell division rate influence the form of fluid-filled cavities in the developing ...

Arteriovenous malformations, a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, may be driven by endothelial cell-cycle acceleration via CDK6, suggesting potential for repurposing CDK6 inhibitors.

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have ...
