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 ...

DNA replication is a powerful testimony to the complexity and elegance of life itself. Each time a cell divides, it’s tasked with copying around 3 billion nucleotides—an astonishing feat that ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules.

Technology DNA nanobots can exponentially self-replicate Tiny machines made from strands of DNA can build copies of themselves, leading to exponential replication.

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified.

Analysis of patient tumor samples and clinical data correlated disease progression with an increase in DNA replication stress response factors. Our findings suggest that many MAPK pathway–mutant ...
