A cell-free genomics approach silences cellular noise and reveals transcription drivers, improving our understanding of a ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life reconstructions ever created. Using computer technology, scientists have ...

The first cell rejuvenation therapy is set to enter clinics, testing if aging cells can be reset to a younger, healthier ...

Called “Lamarckian Inheritance,” the theory suggests that those experiences can even be passed down to future generations.

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

All complex biological systems—like the DNA, RNA and proteins constantly being copied and built within our cells—are prone to errors. That means as life evolved to be more elaborate, it also had to ...

According to this model, sigma (σ) factors bind to RNA polymerase to initiate transcription—the process by which genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA—and then detach after initiation to allow ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.
