Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...
Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.
DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...
Paras Gaur, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iowa, investigates DNA damage repair and G-quadruplex structures ...
Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without any template to guide them, a behavior the team calls “doodling.” Published ...
In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
