When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

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, must ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Unlike "junk email" that is immediately deleted from the email box, "junk DNA" continues to exist in living creatures in nature such as bacteria, insects, and even mammals such as humans, alongside ...

The genes of great white sharks defy scientific explanation. An animal's genome can be deeply revealing, but ever since researchers started decoding great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) DNA more ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

A new model offers a possible solution to the scientific question of why neutral sequences, sometimes referred to as 'junk DNA', are not eliminated from the genome of living creatures in nature and ...
