A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...
Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...
Centromeres are regions of DNA where the cell’s machinery grabs each chromosome and pulls it into the two daughter cells. Centromeres are essential for accurate chromosome segregation in every ...
Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer‐promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...
Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly genetically identical cells. Depending on the organism, these cells arrange ...

Cells that acquire a doubled genome after a failed division step survive and proliferate far more effectively than cells left ...
A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...
A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...
