undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell's cytoplasm.

Research from Umeå University paves the way for a quantitative data analysis method to study the cell division process in ...

DNA damage can result in the genetic sequence being misread and copied during cell division -- known as DNA replication -- and this introduces permanent mutations that can contribute to the ...

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers from Fred Hutch Cancer Center and The University of Texas MD ...

Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA. Gene expression Only a fraction of the genes possessed by any particular cell will be expressed.

DNA damage can result in the genetic sequence being misread and copied during cell division—known as DNA replication—and this introduces permanent mutations that can contribute to the ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer. Led by Professor Gary Ying Wai CHAN from the ...

“Eukaryotic cells are much more complicated in different ways,” Sheng said. They have multiple, larger chromosomes, multiple origins of replication on each chromosome, and some regions of the DNA are ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...
