Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, an ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...

A new study on genetic sequencing finds that DNA replication is not as accurate as was previously thought, which could impact a range of fields, from medicine to the study of evolution. DNA ...

There are many health problems that can be traced back to errors in the genetic code. There are also many potential benefits to genetic engineering outside of healthcare. Nature has already found ways ...

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology. (Nanowerk News) A few years ago, ...
