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 ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among the most dangerous forms of DNA damage and immediately trigger the cell's ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing the entire repair sequence as it unfolds. Instead of freezing cells at ...

A comprehensive review titled "From the Test Tube to the Cell: A Homecoming for DNA Computing Circuits?" published Mar. 4 in Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal, highlights progress in ...

In the past few years, gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments has become an important complement to hybridization and amplification sequencing tools. As variations on PCR, RFLP, mutation sequencing, and ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Infiltrating B-cell subtypes and associated hub genes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma identified from integrated single-cell and bulk-RNA sequencing data. Analysis of heterochromatin remodeling as a ...
