It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

New discoveries are challenging the binary notion of “living” versus “non-living.”A recently discovered organism is a surprising microbe that shares traits with both viruses and cellular life. It can ...

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like ‘Sukunaarchaeum ...

This newly found organism doesn’t act like a virus or a cell, and that could change everything we know about biology.

Figure 1. The replication cycle of high-risk human papillomaviruses in a differentiating epithelium. (A) The different epithelial layers are indicated on the left hand side of the diagram.

Microsoft Teams allows parents and teachers to communicate with each other remotely. However, if do they do not speak a common language, communication can be difficult. Microsoft Translator allows ...

Many biological processes, such as gene transcription and replication, involve opening and closing of short regions of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Few techniques, however, can study these processes ...

In a cell, DNA replication begins at specific locations in the genome, called "origins". Unwinding of DNA at the origin, and synthesis of new strands, forms a replication fork.
