Every person who has ever been pregnant leaves a biological trace that is far more intimate than a family photo album. During ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Computational biologists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how RNA splicing – a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity - is regulated across ...

Cells are defined by the genes they express; protein-coding genes are carefully regulated so that the correct proteins will be active at the right times and places to carry out a cell's functions.

Every time a cell divides to produce two new daughter cells., the genome must be replicated and evenly divided between those new cells. During this process, DNA undergoes many changes in form.
