Massive cycles of cell division, in which a parental cell is split into two identical daughter cells, give rise to the trillions of cells that make up the human body. Careful replication and ...

A transitional state Massive cycles of cell division, in which a parental cell is split into two identical daughter cells, give rise to the trillions of cells that make up the human body.

DNA methylation, essential for regulating gene expression and cell function, is crucially maintained by CDCA7, which ...

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication.

But when a human egg splits--first into 2 ... These homeotic genes were known to be gathered together in clusters on a strand of DNA, arranged in a sequence that uncannily mimics the order of the body ...

This means that unlike any other cells in an eventual body ... DNA unzip, forming a structure that looks like a fork in the road. For replication to proceed, the fork must move down the strand ...

Genetic disorders -- like cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease -- are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one ...
