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

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Two stories just published provide a much different picture of how bacterial cells continually repair lesions in their DNA. Led by researchers from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the work ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

In a recent study published in The Lancet Digital Health, researchers discuss the development and validation of a combined model comprising imaging, clinical, and cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ...

BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...

As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the original ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* server, researchers at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases evaluated the immunogenicity of a severe acute respiratory ...
