Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

DNA replication is a complex process with many moving parts. In baker's yeast, the molecular complex Ctf18-RFC keeps parts of the replication machinery from falling off the DNA strand. Human cells ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level. The movie ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

Scientists have long agreed that early humans mated with Neanderthals, but a pair of recent studies have shed light on when exactly this DNA mixing occurred. Such a revelation could help ...

Then, during the next round of DNA replication, DNA polymerase and the DNA repair enzymes fill in the other strand. Thus, telomerase is able to both maintain and extend the length of telomeres.

There are some 7,000 identified languages spoken globally, and researchers say they all have a common origin back when early human groups started spreading across the world. The capacity to talk ...
