Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

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 ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...
