Researchers demonstrated how Mycobacterium tuberculosis modifies its DNA and regulates both replication and gene activity ...

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) may have an "on-off switch" that lets them pause and restart growth, according to a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria ...

Cell division is an essential biological process that removes aged cells and continuously renews tissues. In the human body, billions of cells divide each day: intestinal cells are completely renewed ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through ...

Cells from patients with the hereditary disease xeroderma pigmentosum carry a mutation such that repair replication of DNA is either absent or much reduced in comparison to normal fibroblasts.

What did the duo actually discover? Many people believe that American biologist James Watson and English physicist Francis Crick discovered DNA in the 1950s. In reality, this is not the case.

If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic instability and cancer. Researchers at UNIST and IBS have experimentally ...

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has agreed to buy 23andMe for $256 million and plans to continue consumer DNA testing services without interruption.
