Rice researchers discover that bacteria rely on repulsive forces, strengthened by the SMC family of proteins, to separate their DNA during replication.

They don’t undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after replication. Instead, they use a process called bin... [4106 chars]
