In a new study, scientists analyzed one such strategy used by the bacterium Escherichia coli. One of the enzymes in the ...

Investigators long knew that the two cases were connected, but were unable to match the DNA sample from the crime scene, the ...

In everyday life, our genetic material is constantly under attack from many factors. Environmental influences such as light, ...

Clearance of circulating tumor (ct)DNA after neoadjuvant therapy correlated significantly with pathologic complete response ...

Conducting research is hard; confirming the results is, too. And artificial intelligence isn’t yet ready to help, a major new study finds. By Carl Zimmer Carl Zimmer has reported on replication in ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don’t undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

In late January, Ben and his wife Gabby were driving to their home in Northeast Minneapolis when they received a message on an activist group chat that federal immigration officers were nearby. They ...

Accurately identifying plant pathogens remains one of the most important, and sometimes most challenging, aspects of greenhouse production. Many diseases produce similar symptoms, making visual ...

In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would later reshape biology and our understanding of life itself. A ...

New England Biolabs (NEB) has introduced the Monarch ® Mag PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (5 µg), a magnetic bead-based system for high-throughput purification of PCR products and DNA. The kit enables ...

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, ...
