Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

An INRS team discovers a new family of enzymes capable of inducing targeted cuts in single-stranded DNA . A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the ...

Acute exercise triggers circulating changes that improve DNA damage repair and remodel gene expression in colon cancer cells, ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.
