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 ...

Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

From decoding DNA replication to engineering synthetic genomes, yeast research is unlocking secrets that impact medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. Scientists use ...

Genetics can be an intimidating subject, but the right mix of study techniques can make it manageable—and even enjoyable. From active recall tools like flashcards to research-backed prediction ...

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 ...
