Activated immune cells secrete tiny capsules bearing DNA that can enter other immune and tumor cells to stimulate the body's ...

When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the ...

From the first unzip of the double helix to the final joining of DNA fragments, replication is a carefully coordinated process. Understanding it helps explain how life preserves its genetic code with ...

This study characterizes several novel activities of SARS-CoV-2 helicase nsp13, providing valuable insights into potentially new functions of this essential RNA-processing enzyme in the virus life ...

Shixin Liu is pioneering new ways of studying the tiny proteins that copy and read DNA in living cells. (Credit: Roshni ...

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

To permanently access this app note for free, fill out the short form below. Most DNA extraction protocols were originally developed for manual pipetting and later adapted for liquid handlers. In ...

On Monday, a paper announcing that all four DNA bases had been found on an asteroid sparked a lot of headlines. But many of the headlines omitted a key word needed to put the discovery in context: ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

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, ...

His decoding of the blueprint for life with Francis H.C. Crick made him one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He wrote a celebrated memoir and later ignited an uproar with racist ...
