Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies published in the journals Science ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

DNA replication is a complex process with many moving parts. In baker's yeast, the molecular complex Ctf18-RFC keeps parts of the replication machinery from falling off the DNA strand. Human cells use ...

A newly identified cellular system monitors subtle variations in genetic coding, hinting at a hidden level of control over ...
