Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...
SAR11 bacteria dominate the world’s oceans by being incredibly efficient, shedding genes to survive in nutrient-poor waters.
If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...
Genomic analysis shows SAR11 bacteria, adapted to low-nutrient oceans, lack key cell cycle controls. As conditions change, ...
Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal metabolic processes or ...
A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.
Scientists have achieved a genetic feat once thought impossible: removing an entire extra human chromosome using gene-editing ...
A group of ocean bacteria long considered perfectly adapted to life in nutrient-poor waters may be more vulnerable to ...
Common ocean bacteria struggle to divide when conditions change, reshaping how warming seas affect ecosystems.
The history of cancer research is long, stretching back to 1713 when physician Bernadino Ramazzini observed that nuns faced ...
