During DNA replication, the unwinding of strands leaves a single strand vulnerable. How does the cell protect these strands from damage? How would you identify the protein that serves as a ...

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

New research shows that DNA replication in early mouse embryos doesn't follow the expected patterns seen in older cells. A ...

Previous research suggests that about two thirds of the mutations that drive cancer result from errors made during DNA replication. DNA replication is an essential part of cell division. Before a cell ...

Scientists have identified the likely geological and environmental conditions that fostered the development of life as we ...

DNA is susceptible to damage caused by errors committed during replication and by environmental factors, such as radiation, oxidants, or alkylating agents. Repair reactions involve the excision of ...

heat cycling is enough to get them to do the work of DNA replication. The process is called the DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). (If it sounds familiar, it's because PCR-powered COVID testing ...

This important work shows how a simple geophysical setting of gas flow over a narrow channel of water can create a physical environment that leads to the isothermal replication of nucleic acids. The ...

The National Institutes of Health has awarded $1 million to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation to study how the ...

The calf, born into the Tarter family in Edmonson County, Kentucky, had four eyes, four ears, two mouths and two noses. The ...

NEW YORK – 858 Therapeutics on Thursday said it raised $50 million in a Series B financing round to advance its pipeline of small molecule therapeutics, including the poly (ADP) ribose glycohydrolase ...
