Researchers have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered ...

Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate -- causing potentially permanent genetic ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Nobody wants to be average. But for a long time, scientists have found it convenient to think of bacterial cells as just that: "average." Researchers have traditionally relied on population-level ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have discovered a novel mechanism safeguarding mitochondrial DNA. The study, published in PNAS earlier this week, was carried out in close ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Tampa (BLOOM) – Understanding the intricate process of aging has been a subject of fascination for scientists and researchers. While aging is a natural part of life, recent studies have shed light on ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...
