Jennifer A. Surtees has long been dedicated to studying genome stability and boosting community involvement in research. With a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant, she’ll get to do both.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides, which happens constantly. Without this process, we would die.

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 ...

A giant DNA virus pulled from a Japanese freshwater pond is forcing scientists to rethink how complex cells first acquired their defining feature: the nucleus. Named ushikuvirus, the newly ...
