In the search to displace petrochemicals as feedstocks for materials, many researchers have focused on compounds from biomass that are abundant, such as sugars, proteins, and cellulose. Now, a simple ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

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

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...
