When organisms pass their genes on to future generations, they include more than the code spelled out in DNA. Some also pass along chemical markers that instruct cells how to use that code. The passage of these markers to ...

Chromatin inheritance during cell division involves the replication of DNA and assembly of nucleosomes onto the replicated DNA, because passage of the DNA replication fork disrupts nucleosomes on the DNA. Half of the histones ...

Cell division, or the process of how daughter cells emerge from a mother cell, is fundamental to biology. Every cell inherits the same protein and DNA building blocks that make up the cell it originally came from. Yet exactly ...

The risk of cancer increases with every cell division. As such, you would expect long-lived species like elephants to get cancer more often than short-lived species like mice. In 1975, however, Richard Peto discovered that ...
