Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

As cells divide, they must copy all of their chromosomes once and only once, or chaos would ensue. How do they do it? By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jul 7, 2023 6:00 PM EDT This article ...

In the year 2000, the Human Genome Project completed their first draft of the very first sequenced human genome. It was celebrated as a major breakthrough for humanity. And in a lot of ways, genomic ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) ...

Every person starts as just one fertilized egg. By adulthood, that single cell has turned into roughly 37 trillion cells, many of which keep dividing to create the same amount of fresh human cells ...

In a twist on the question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?", scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: "Which comes first, assembly of the viral ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

While practical DNA storage remains elusive, a team of Chinese researchers has developed a DNA cassette tape that could ...

It's hard to conceptualize the bizarre quantum behavior of subatomic particles, which are often too tiny, fleeting, and counterintuitive to conceptualize on any tangible scale. But new research bucks ...
