This important study presents compelling observational data supporting a role for transcription and polysome accumulation in the separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes. The study is ...

It prevents females from having twice as many X-chromosome gene products as males have. In males, an imprinted gene that is expressed only from Xm will be expressed in all cells, but because of X ...

In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive organelles, such as micro-compartments found in some bacteria, help organize cellular processes by concentrating ...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is actively removed during spermatogenesis in a conserved process that enforces the uniparental ...
