By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

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 ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible. “It’s as ...

Half a century ago, scientists Jim Watson and Alexey Olovnikov independently realized that there was a problem with how our DNA gets copied. A quirk of linear DNA replication dictated that telomeres ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy. Using yeast, the researchers ...

Jenny Graves is a Friend of The Conversation. Neanderthals, the closest cousins of modern humans, lived in parts of Europe and Asia until their extinction some 30,000 years ago. Genetic studies are ...
