When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Jenny Graves receives funding from The Australian Research Council. Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, ...

Men tend to lose the Y chromosome from their cells as they age. But because the Y bears few genes other than for male determination, it was thought this loss would not affect health. But evidence has ...

Soil compaction can devastate yields for years. An upcoming webinar series hosted by the University of Minnesota and NDSU on the subject brings together experts from the U.S., Canada and Australia.

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

MIT experiments have revealed the existence of “microcompartments,” shown in yellow, within the 3D structure of the genome. These compartments are formed by tiny loops that may play a role in gene ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Compacted soil is one of the trickiest problems gardeners can face. At first it just looks like a firm patch of ground. But beneath that ...

Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...

Regardless of what you’re growing, spring is an exciting time of year. But it doesn’t come without challenges. Compaction can lead to wet soil that makes it difficult to get in your fields on time for ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For this, the cell must duplicate its DNA—its genome—and segregate it equally ...
