A research team led by Professor Yuanliang ZHAI at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) collaborating with Professor Ning GAO and Professor Qing LI from Peking ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

Science is rarely straightforward. Many times, scientists embark on a study looking for evidence for a particular hypothesis, ...

University of Queensland researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. Dr. Anne Hahn and Associate Professor Steven Zuryn from UQ's ...
