…Pillus, Julie Roberts, Jeff Hasty, Nan Hao, Philip Bittihn, Richard O’Laughlin, Meng Jin and Lev Tsimring. According to the researchers, nature has developed a clever way to solve this dilemma. “Instead of staying in the silencing or silencing loss state, cells switch their DNA between the open (silencing loss) and…

Biologists have long known that organisms from bacteria to humans use the 24 hour cycle of light and darkness to set their biological clocks. But exactly how these clocks are synchronized at the molecular level to perform the interactions within a population of cells that depend on the precise timing…
