This review focuses on the unique characteristics of mitochondrial nucleoids in mammalian cells, highlighting their ...

University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers looked billions of years into the past to learn more about the potential ...

It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

Single-celled organisms called archaea aren't generally thought to cause human disease, but one species has been implicated in colorectal cancer ...

The slightly warmer temperatures around the middle of the Earth melted the top layers of ice to form meltwater ponds that ...

These are all known as eukaryotes. Eukaryotic genomes are far more intricate than bacterial ones. Some DNA snippets, for example, have specific functions, such as turning a gene on or off. Others ...

By reconstituting eukaryotic DNA replication in vitro, this study addresses the effects of physiological quadruplex secondary structures on genome stability. G‐quadruplexes (G4s) and intercalated ...

The preprint also presented a workflow for “generative epigenomics,” which designed DNA sequences with desirable chromatin accessibility profiles to simulate eukaryotic gene regulation.

Rather than bacteria, the Earth BioGenome Project, or EBP, is aiming to sequence the genomes of individual eukaryotic creatures—basically, those that keep most of their DNA in a nut-like structure, or ...

A similar clean-slate approach is the guiding principle behind an international effort to create the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome — the set of molecular instructions that govern complex ...
