Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

EPFL scientists have discovered that a simple shape change in mitochondria helps cells evenly distribute their mitochondrial ...

Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...

The abundance of viral DNA was measured in DNA sequenced from blood and saliva samples in biobanks, revealing strong ...

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and ...

Leukemia is one of those diseases people often associate with children. But in adults, especially with certain types, it can ...

Like tiny superheroes, small, naturally occurring segments of RNA can block multiple molecular paths that cancer cells use to ...
