Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

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

An investigation into cellular components in bacteria has unexpectedly uncovered a feature with relevance across many life forms, paving the way for diverse research, biotechnical and medical ...

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 aging, cancer, ...

ABSTRACT: DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, carrying encoded genetic information at molecular level, is the most significant discovery in the history of genetics. Previous researches on DNA included topics ...

Eukaryotic Polα-primase contains DNA polymerase (Pol1) and RNA primase subunits that together synthesize a >20-nucleotide hybrid RNA–DNA primer. Bacteria and archaea only require a dozen or less RNA ...

An international collaboration has published groundbreaking research, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life's evolution on Earth: the origin of the ...

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 ...

Large eukaryotic genomes are packaged into the restricted area of the nucleus to protect the genetic code and provide a dedicated environment to read, copy and repair DNA. The physical organisation of ...
