Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...

Solar energy is a possible alternative, but while we have become reasonably good at storing solar electricity in lithium-ion ...

In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's ...

Researchers have identified a molecular brake that limits DNA replication in healthy cells, revealing how cells prevent a long-suspected replication catastrophe and pointing to a potential ...

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, have uncovered how the DNA repair enzyme XPF-ERCC1 is recruited to sites of damage and activated inside cells, resolving a long-standing ...

Here are strategic revision techniques, important topics, diagram practice, and exam-day strategies to help CBSE Class 12 ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International ...

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

Researchers show that loss of the SPRTN enzyme lets DNA–protein crosslinks accumulate, leak DNA into the cytoplasm, activate ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

SAR11 bacteria dominate the world’s oceans by being incredibly efficient, shedding genes to survive in nutrient-poor waters.
