Beyond a certain point there is no return. This point has to be reached.” This isn’t a quote from a thriller, but the ...

Scientists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have recreated how RNA might have first replicated itself on ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have addressed a longstanding challenge in CRISPR ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyze long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve ...

A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

At some point, RNA must have replicated itself before the evolutionary arrival of DNA and proteins, and now we might know how ...

In T24 human bladder carcinoma cells, these EGSs, but not control sequences, were highly effective in downregulating PKC-α protein and mRNA expression ... of salmon sperm DNA overnight at ...

However, results must be interpreted with great caution, since differences in satellite DNA may be quantitative (variation in copy number) or qualitative (variation in nucleotide sequence). Identical ...

The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) works under the auspices of Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) and is the only worldwide authority that assigns standardised symbols and names to human genes ...

We consider construction of a set of smaller 4 × 4 matrices to represent DNA primary sequences which are based on enumeration of all 64 triplets of nucleic acids bases. The leading eigenvalue from the ...

Eggheads believe Leonardo da Vinci’s DNA could crack the code of what makes a genius. The famous artist was a polymath - ...

The DNA is basically a book of recipes. Each recipe tells the cells in our bodies how to make specific proteins by combining ...
