The new finding is published in Cell in an article titled, “ SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions ,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome ...
The last few years have provided us with a new level of understanding of how chromosomes are replicated, segregated and read - and how their 3D organisation influences expression of individual genes ...
In many organisms, aging is a clear risk factor for increased rates of chromosome mis-segregation, the main source of aneuploidy. Here, we report that old yeast mother c ...
A long-term goal is to develop mechanistic models that explain in atomic level detail how macromolecular machines transduce chemical energy into force and motion, and to determine how cells exploit ...
eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...
UTA researchers developed a chromosome-level genome map for bedbugs, revealing insights into their biology, evolution, and insecticide resistance, paving the way for improved pest control strategies.
Jan. 16, 2025 — Scientists have unveiled insights into how HIV-1, the virus responsible for AIDS, skillfully hijacks cellular machinery for its own survival. By dissecting the molecular ...
