Scientists say their work on a critical step in DNA replication will provide new insights into a fundamental process of life and driver of many different diseases, including cancer. They report the ...

Ancient DNA helps explain why northern Europeans have a higher risk of multiple sclerosis than other ancestries: It's a genetic legacy of horseback-riding cattle herders who swept into the region ...

Genome rearrangements that lead to human disorders are typically thought to be caused by mistakes that occur during recombination. A new study into the genetic basis of a CNS disorder has revealed ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Two general models have been proposed for DNA replication. In one model, DNA polymerase moves along the DNA (like a train on a track); in the ...

June 27 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a more effective way to highlight and watch the molecular machinery inside a cell. Using fluorescent biomarkers, researchers successfully observed the ...

Quantum mechanics, which rules the world of the teensy-tiny, may help explain why genetic mutations spontaneously crop up in DNA as it makes copies of itself, a recent study suggests. Scientists ...
