A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

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 ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...
