Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that certain p53 mutants hijack the DNA replication machinery ...

Researchers discovered that embryos must clear maternal mRNAs to develop properly. When cleanup fails, it causes aberrant ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...

In a remarkable development that challenges our understanding of life’s origins, researchers have identified human-like DNA ...

New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...

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

Our DNA is arranged into chromosomes that carry a kind of protective shield at their ends, called telomeres. These protective ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

Humans and bananas do share DNA, but not 70% as commonly claimed. Every living thing has a built-in instruction manual called ...
