all the way down to the level of the atoms that make up a single DNA base. The human body contains about 100 trillion cells, each working together in a complex symphony of interactions.

Encoded within this DNA are the directions for traits as diverse as the color of a person's eyes, the scent of a rose, and the way in which bacteria infect a lung cell. DNA is found in nearly all ...

Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. Gene expression Only a fraction of the genes possessed by any particular cell will be expressed.

A study led by Prof. Liu Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role ...
