The high-molecular-weight DNA isolated from cells is prepared in agarose plugs or inserts and can then be incubated with DNA-modifying enzymes such as restriction endonucleases. The agar matrix in ...

Nonetheless, scientists are familiar with the basic ... synthesized DNA along the lagging strand are called Okazaki fragments, named in honor of their discoverer, Japanese molecular biologist ...

Just a few years ago, scientists at Delft and other places discovered that these SMC proteins are molecular motors that make long loops in our DNA, and that these loops are the key regulators of ...

Scientists have produced an updated map of all human DNA which could help to transform medical research. The original human genome, published 20 years ago, is mostly from one person, and does not ...

The Whitehouse lab is broadly interested in understanding how chromatin functions in the regulation of cellular processes such as DNA replication, gene transcription and epigenetics. We focus on ...

The molecular evolution of an organism can be very different from its morphological (body features) evolution. Millions of changes in DNA molecules have occurred over the time modern species evolved.

Chromosomes are the fundamental structural units of our genome. The Sfeir lab seeks to understand basic chromosome biology and how their mismanagement manifests in disease. Our research is focused on ...

The Program in Applied Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (AMBB) will prepare students to work in a wide variety of biotechnology-related settings. With a locked-step curriculum, the program ...

We provided the first conclusive evidence that the basic cause of cancer is damage to DNA ... Nuclei of tumour cells stained with a blue dye and two markers of DNA damage resulting from irradiation.

The Master of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology is ideal for students who want to pursue or advance careers in the rapidly expanding fields of biotechnology, basic science, and pharmacological ...
