Vibrio cholerae presents a unique model of bacterial genome organisation through its bipartite genome, comprising two distinct chromosomes that replicate in a carefully orchestrated manner.

The events of chromosome replication and meiosis are obviously critical as well known from classical genetics. Even a mutation at a single base (not even a base pair) can be transmitted to the ...

Automation isn’t coming — it’s already reshaping jobs across industries. From junior coders to recruiters, roles once seen as ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can ...

Chromosomes are cellular structures that contain the genetic material. A chromosome is comprised of a single DNA molecule that may be either circular or linear. The full complement of a cell s ...

The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...

A large trial shows that the vitamin may delay one biological mechanism linked to aging, but don’t rush out to buy supplements just yet.

Researchers have long advocated for a more systematic approach to environmental health, but funding may not hold.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe autoimmune disease with complex genetic causes. Some genetic contributors have been ...

Genetic study identifies FOXP4 as a key factor in long COVID, emphasizing the importance of diverse population inclusion.

No matter how you look at them, lobsters are fascinating creatures and essential members of the ocean. They have been ...

Researchers found that taking this vitamin every day may slow cellular aging by as much as three years. Here's everything you ...
