Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is circular in nature and organized as mitochondrial nucleoids comprised of DNA-protein complexes that are distributed in the matrix. It is also inherited ...
An elusive step in the process of human DNA replication has been observed, for the first time, by scientists. The step, which is crucial for DNA replication in humans and other forms of life, had ...
Scientists have captured new details of the biochemical interactions necessary for cell division. The research may suggest ways for stopping cell division when it goes awry. Building on earlier work ...
