For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Abstract: Origins of replication sites (ORIs) are crucial genomic regions where DNA replication initiation takes place, playing pivotal roles in fundamental biological processes like cell division, ...

Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...

Millions struggle with depression and anxiety, often enduring long waits for effective treatment. Scientists in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany are developing a genetic test to predict which medications ...

The electrochemical sensors developed in Ariel Furst’s lab consist of DNA adhered to an inexpensive gold leaf electrode, which is laminated onto a sheet of plastic. Credit: The MIT researchers. MIT ...

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 ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
