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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

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 ...

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

Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without ...

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

In today’s rapidly evolving scientific landscape, eliminating barriers to progress is more critical than ever. Precision medicine and targeted therapies hold great promise but are dependent on the ...

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