The mitochondrial genome of Trypanosoma brucei is uniquely organised as a kinetoplast, a highly complex network composed of thousands of minicircles and a smaller number of maxicircles. This structure ...

A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

DPY30 was identified as a promoter of cancer cell proliferation and tumor survival. Targeting this protein may enhance the ...

Scientists have uncovered how DnaA, the master key to DNA replication, opens the door to bacterial growth. This breakthroughpaves the way for new antibiotics to combat the rising tide of antibiotic ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

The goal of this module is to develop algorithms to replicate genome sequencing. Using Python, we will be able to analyze biological data and explore the field of computational biology. The ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified an epigenetic target for replication stress, ...

Most cancer cells have genomes that are much less methylated than those of normal cells, but whether this loss of methylation, an epigenetic process, has any functional meaning for the cells has long ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...
