On November 13, 2025, Google users in India were greeted with a smart twist when Google’s iconic logo had transformed into a ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process for a cell to ensure that an accurate copy of its genetic material is transmitted to daughter cells at each cell division. Challenges to DNA replication ...

Recent research has shed light on the complex processes that cells use to maintain the quality of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) ...

With “Crick: A Mind in Motion,” the British biologist Matthew Cobb aims for the tricky “middle path”: a life vivid enough to ...

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 ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that certain p53 mutants hijack the DNA replication machinery ...

Huge sections of the human genome are made up of highly repetitive sequences, areas where bases like ATATAT repeat in very long strings. For many years, scientists wrote these repetitive sequences off ...

Inaccuracy of DNA replication poses novel health risk The researchers conclude that – combined with the greater radition risk in space – the inaccuracy of DNA replication under microgravity could pose ...

The radiation in space is not great for biological health. Space radiation is known to damage DNA. Many types of human cells have to frequently divide to replace cells that are worn out, old, or ...

Error-prone DNA replication and repair may lead to mutations and cancer in individuals who inherit a mutant copy of the BRCA1 gene, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

The data, which is being presented at this year's AMP meeting, offers some insights into the often hidden causes of recurrent pregnancy loss.

Humans and bananas do share DNA, but not 70% as commonly claimed. Every living thing has a built-in instruction manual called ...
