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

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 ...

The repair of damage to genetic material (DNA) in the human body is carried out by highly efficient mechanisms that have not yet been fully researched. A scientific team has now discovered a ...

DNA repair mechanism: HELQ helicase remodels stalled replication forks into stable structures, preventing harmful mutations under replication stress. Advanced imaging tool: RF-SIRF maps reversed forks ...

Adrian Woolfson, MD, PhD, says biology is becoming a general design and manufacturing platform poised to unlock a multi-trillion-dollar bioeconomy. Key to this transition will be the ability to write ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...

VIENNA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ribbon Bio GmbH, the DNA synthesis company, today announced the launch of MiroSynth™ DNA, its first commercial product designed to meet the growing demand for complex and ...

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 ...

No “sticky ends”? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...
