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

A man who adopted a dog from a shelter earlier this year did a DNA test to finally found out what breed she is, and the results were certainly not what he expected. Brett Miller adopted Birdie, a ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division - a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The world's oldest DNA comes from a 2.4 million-year-old environment in Greenland. | Credit: ...

Ensuring that DNA replication occurs at the right stage of the cell cycle is of crucial importance in biology. In bacteria, DNA replication begins with the assembly of a DNA-protein complex called the ...

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in their development. New insights into how maternal and paternal DNA is ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

ABSTRACT: Ranaviruses are harmful viruses that infect amphibians, fish, and reptiles, and have caused particularly devastating declines in amphibian populations. One particular type of ranavirus, ...

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...

DNA replication is a complex process with many moving parts. In baker's yeast, the molecular complex Ctf18-RFC keeps parts of the replication machinery from falling off the DNA strand. Human cells use ...
