In an innovative fusion of biology and nanotechnology, scientists at the University of North Carolina (UNC) have developed ...
They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.
Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...
MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have published an analysis that reveals new functions of the ...
Before Watson and Crick basked in Nobel glory, before The Double Helix mythologized their genius, there was the photo. Photo 51 — crisp, clear, and groundbreaking — captured by Dr. Rosalind Franklin, ...
Companies that make DNA for science labs screen out any requests for dangerous bits of genetic material. But a new study ...
