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

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Sarah J. Aitken is at the Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology, Yale Cancer Center, New Haven, Connecticut 06511, USA, and in the Department of Pathology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven. Read ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

Surprisingly, forcing an acceleration of replication forks led to miscoordination between genome replication completion and cell cycle progression. Dr. Tsubouchi concludes, "We propose that slow ...

Our DNA is constantly being packed and unpacked. And there is a good reason for this: depending on its packing state, it performs different functions in the cell nucleus. For most of its life – this ...
