Bacterial DNA replication is a highly coordinated process that ensures faithful genome duplication and cell division. Replication initiates at a single chromosomal origin (oriC) where multiple copies ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Top: Chromosome separate with functioning SMC in two models, line drawing and filled-space. The red and pink dots indicate, respectively, ori on each copy of DNA. Bottom: DNA separating without ...

Transposons are critical drivers of bacterial evolution that have been studied for many decades and have been the subject of Nobel Prize winning research. Now, researchers from Cornell University have ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The exponential growth of global data is outpacing conventional storage technologies, driving interest in alternative approaches. DNA offers an exceptionally high theoretical ...
