Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

Brandt Eichman and Walter Chazin, professors of biochemistry, have worked together to provide a better understanding of how exactly DNA replication is initiated in eukaryotes. Using Vanderbilt's state ...

Stepping away from its billions-of-years-old role as a genetic "blueprint," DNA is now embarking on a new journey as an active "field agent" within cells. This research by a team led by Professor ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a dangling ...

New England Biolabs (NEB) just announced its new Q5® Blood Direct 2X Master Mix. This latest DNA polymerase master mix amplifies a wide variety of genetic targets directly from whole or dried blood — ...
