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 ...

In a quiet freshwater pond in Ibaraki Prefecture near Tokyo, researchers have pulled from the water a microscopic giant that ...
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...
For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...
Unrepaired DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) – highly toxic tangles of protein and DNA – cause a process that leads to premature ...
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...
Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...
