From the blueprint of life encoded in our DNA to the awe-inspiring complexity of our genetic inheritance, we will embark on a journey through the microscopic world within us and witness the remarkable ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study ...

Each human telomere is composed of 10-15 kb of repetitive DNA bound by a protein complex called shelterin, which forms a protective nucleoprotein cap at the chromosome end. In addition to shelterin, ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...
