DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the fundamental blueprint of life, containing genetic instructions for traits and ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have published an analysis that reveals new functions of the ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

The scientists named this new process ER3D, which stands for endogenous RNA-directed DNA damage. It’s the first time ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...

Cells all require the transport of materials to maintain their function. In nerve cells, a tiny motor made of protein called ...
