Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Some modern humans carry Neanderthal gene variants that affect how their bodies metabolize common medications. This explains recent genetic research linking ancient interbreeding to slower drug ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A new forensic process is helping investigators across Oklahoma identify remains in cold cases dating back decades — including a Canadian County case involving a woman who had ...

For years, the federal government has been amassing DNA profiles of noncitizens. But recently released Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data reveal that officials knowingly collected the DNA of ...

A modular metamaterial mimics DNA geometry to combine twist compression, tunable stiffness, fast recovery, and reusable shock absorption for robotics and impact systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Across ...
