The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

Visualizing and quantifying DNA replication dynamics in living human cells remains challenging. Here, a new super-resolution ...

Dr. Cynthia J. Burrows of the University of Utah will focus on biomedical implications of DNA research through two lectures that she will present while at Hope College on Thursday and Friday, Feb.

Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is circular in nature and organized as mitochondrial nucleoids comprised of DNA-protein complexes that are distributed in the matrix. It is also inherited ...

Scientists successfully induced gene expression from a DNA and evolution through continuous replication extracellularly using cell-free materials alone for the first time. By adding the genes ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

Harvard Medical School Professor David E. Reich ’96 spoke Monday night about how ancient DNA can shed light on aspects of human behavior, patterns of migration, and decreasing biological diversity.

Nanoscale “robots” made of DNA that rapidly self-replicate could be harnessed to manufacture drugs or other chemicals inside the body, say researchers. Tiny machines made of DNA origami may make ...
