Bethesda, MD - Scientists have discovered a DNA sequence that is involved in controlling the timing of DNA replication. Because alterations in DNA replication timing are associated with cancer ...

Mistakes made during DNA replication can lead to mutations—permanent alterations in the DNA sequence that can have varying effects on the organism, ranging from benign to harmful.

This study helps to unravel the puzzle of junk DNA – showing how these repetitive sequences can block DNA replication and repair.

DNA Nanopore Sequencing Adapted for Protein Sequence Comparisons Researchers link a stretch of DNA to a peptide of interest and measure current changes as the molecule is pulled by a helicase through ...

Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

Circular DNA, thought to be an accidental byproduct, is borrowing the cell’s DNA repair mechanisms to copy itself DURHAM, N.C. -- Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a ...

A team at UCSF, in collaboration with colleagues at Stanford University, has unearthed the regulatory DNA sequences of our archaic human ancestors in a discovery that sheds light on how we diverged ...

How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence? A new method lets anyone with a kit write data to DNA with just one enzyme.
