For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

A major advance in cell biology has revealed how our cells safeguard their genetic material during one of the most vulnerable moments in their life cycle. The study identifies a specific protein ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the ...
