Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is circular in nature and organized as mitochondrial nucleoids comprised of DNA-protein complexes that are distributed in the matrix. It is also inherited ...

Life on Earth depends on the ability of cells to duplicate their genetic material, encoded in DNA molecules, and pass this information on to the next generation. Elucidation of the molecular mechanism ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...
