When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

The last two decades have seen a revolution in scientists' ability to reconstruct the past. This has been made possible ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

Sediment DNA also traces life outside the cave. Predators dragged prey into sheltered chambers, humans left waste behind. By ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

A Nobel laureate, he identified an enzyme that cuts DNA, laying the groundwork for milestones in scientific research and ...

Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...
