Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis. If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally ...
The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...
“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...
