In prokaryotic cells, transcription (DNA to mRNA) and translation (mRNA to protein) are so closely linked that translation ...

Dynamics and physical state of chromatin are crucial in regulating gene expression, DNA replication, and repair. Intrinsically disordered histone tails were previously recognized as key modulators of ...

A new amoeba has been found that eats and proliferates by undergoing cell division even in hot water at 63°C. This is the ...

After an injury, DNA not only changes its activity but also the way it is organized spatially within the cell nucleus. In ...

In biology you must have come across the two types of cells, the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These two are the most fundamental forms of life on earth. Everything living from the bacteria on ...

After an injury, DNA not only alters its activity but also the way it is organized spatially within the cell nucleus.

An amoeba broke the record for the most heat-tolerant eukaryote. Incendiamoeba cascadensis lives at 60°C in hot springs, redefining the limits of complex life.

Back 2.8 billion years ago, while Earth shifted its plates to make new continents and violent volcanoes produced new crust, life crafted a novel invention of its own. 1,2 At first, the nucleus was ...

Every day, viruses kill an estimated 10 to 40 percent of the microbes in the ocean, a process known as the viral shunt. When a virus bursts its host cell, the cell’s contents spill into the s ...

In many submerged regions, murky mud shelters strange life-forms that seem to be the key to one of the biggest mysteries of life on Earth. These creatures belong to a domain of life called the archaea ...
