To maintain its orderly structure, single rings on one strand can only bond with double rings on the other. This keeps the DNA molecule in the form of a ribbon of consistent width. Credit: US National ...
When cells divide, there is a substantial risk of genetic harm. After all, the cell must repeat its whole genetic material, including billions of genetic letters, before it can divide. This repeatedly ...
Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response.
The genome inside each of our cells is modelled by tension and torsion — due in part to the activity of proteins that compact, loop, wrap and untwist ...
We recommend using your OS's package manager directly instead for improved security but the install script is by no means insecure. In addition to being a runnable CLI tool, D2 can also be used to ...
