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 ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

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

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

NIMS, in collaboration with Nagoya University, Gifu University, and the University of Adelaide, has developed a method for simultaneously imaging DNA and RNA inside cells using harmless infrared to ...

What is Single-Molecule Imaging? Single-molecule imaging is a powerful technique that allows researchers to visualize and study individual molecules in real-time. By overcoming the limitations of ...

Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is continuously being damaged by endogenous processes such as metabolism or by exogenous events such as radiation. The specific phosphorylation of histone H2AX on ...
