chromosomes are typically circular. In prokaryotes, the circular chromosome is contained in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes ...

4 Eukaryote DNA consists of multiple molecules of double-stranded linear DNA found in the nucleus, while that of prokaryotes is double-stranded, often circular, and located within the cytoplasm.

How do bacteria, lacking a nucleus, organize and pack their genome into the cell? Supercoiling enables this but forces a different kind of transcription and translation in prokaryotes. Aa Aa Aa ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.
