Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 47 (November 22, 2022), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) Mitochondria have their own DNA (mtDNA), which encodes ...

Precise and rapid DNA segregation is required for proper inheritance of genetic material. In most bacteria and archaea, this process is assured by a broadly conserved mitotic-like apparatus in which a ...

In all domains of life, genome organization occurs in a functional and dynamic manner, packaging the genome into the nucleus (in eukaryotes) or into the cell (in bacteria or archaea) and, at the same ...

• Mitochondria play critical roles in generating ATP through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and produce both damaging and signaling reactive oxygen species (ROS). They have reduced genomes that ...

Our chromosomes are much longer than the space in which they are packaged in the cell. Chromosome compaction is on the order of several thousand fold, yet these chromosomes have to be unraveled every ...
