Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

Loss of an enzyme necessary for a process called lipoylation disrupts the way cancer cells copy their DNA, increasing their ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

From Mendel’s pea plants to the molecular magic of DNA replication, genetics is the story of how life’s blueprint is copied and passed on. Understanding how DNA stores, duplicates, and sometimes ...

DNA replication is a tightly controlled process that copies the genetic code, allowing its instructions to be conveyed from one generation of cells to the next. In diseases like cancer, these ...

A common hallmark of viral genome replication is a high mutation rate, which can aid in their ability to evade new treatments and acquire resistance to once-effective antiviral medications. Now, a new ...

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 ...

New research has discovered that the molecular machines responsible for copying our DNA have a surprising hidden talent: an ability to create entirely new and highly sophisticated DNA sequences from ...

When TV shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation portray DNA processing in the forensic lab, the results appear instantly with a DNA match wrapping up the case in hours. However, the ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...
