A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

A groundbreaking cattle genome has given researchers their clearest look yet at what makes Wagyu beef so special. By ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

A Northwestern Medicine study has revealed a previously unknown connection between two fundamental cellular processes, ...

If your dream is to attend medical school, you’re probably well acquainted with the Medical College Admission Test® (MCAT®). Required by all U.S. medical schools and many others around the world, it’s ...

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 ...

This valuable descriptive manuscript builds on prior research showing that the elimination of Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) subunits does not halt DNA replication. The authors obtain solid data ...

The discovery of DNA ligase by the Gellert, Lehman, Richardson, and Hurwitz teams in 1967 was a breakthrough in molecular biology. These essential enzymes maintain genome integrity and play a vital ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

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 ...

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police officials on Friday said they don’t plan to expand the availability of the Mobile Crisis Assistance Team. Maj. Tabatha McLemore of the Indianapolis ...

A new study has identified USP50, a protein that helps regulate enzymes during DNA replication, ensuring proper use of nucleases and helicases. The discovery sheds light on how cells manage ...
