Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

A mathematical model provides new insights into the distribution of genetic information during bacterial cell division The precise segregation of DNA and the faithful inheritance of plasmids are ...

Researchers have found that remnants left over after a cell divides contain RNA that, when taken up by other cells, can spread cancer’s genetic blueprint. The finding opens the door to harnessing this ...

If cells in cell cultures grow while being treated with division-suppressing agents, their growth becomes excessive and they permanently lose their ability to divide. However, if the cells are treated ...

To determine whether Weismann's germ plasm theory is applicable to plants, researchers from Dr. QIAN Wenfeng's lab at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy ...

We educate medical students, residents and practicing health care providers. Our division's faculty directs and contributes many of the lectures to the Cell and Molecular Biology course for the first ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...
