Whether it is a microbe, a rose, or a dolphin, any form of life gets its building and operating instructions from the molecule of life, DNA. DNA comprises the genes and chromosomes that govern the ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

As previously mentioned, the location at which a DNA strand begins to unwind into two separate single strands is known as the origin of replication. As shown in Figure 1, when the double helix ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958 ...

Animation of DNA’s knot-like i-motif structure the team mapped in 50,000 locations in the human genome, concentrated in key functional areas including regions that control gene activity Credit ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that comprise the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical ...

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...
