Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred ...

The yeast RGG motif-containing RNA binding protein Scd6 and its human ortholog LSM14A regulate the translation of specific ...

A Kobe University team was able to edit the DNA of Lactobacillus strains directly without a template from other organisms.

An international research team has provided a detailed insight into how the spatial organization of genetic material is established in the cell nucleus of early embryos within the first hours after ...

At the end of their experiment, RISE Elementary students were pulling out a gooey, stringy substance from their strawberry mush. “That’s not a booger, that’s DNA,” Joseph Williams told the students.

Along with being a lot of fun for the students, Dr. Williams says it also helps spark a love for science. The students tell ...

A study links the loss of DNA methylation across the genome—as is common in cancer—to the disruption of the 3-D compartments that organize the genome and to the timing of DNA replication. Cell lines ...

Since DNA ligation is essential for DNA replication and repair, DNA ligases have emerged as a promising target for cancer treatment. Its inhibitors block ligase activity, preventing cancer cells from ...

This DNA repair and replication activity supports a fascinating mechanism called premeiotic endoreplication, a process through which the snake duplicates its chromosomes before dividing them ...
