An international research team has determined the first high-resolution structures of the herpes simplex virus origin-binding ...

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

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 ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division — a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...

Researchers at Spain’s CNIO have mapped 20,000 distinct DNA repair “scars,” building the first human REPAIRome. This atlas reveals how each human gene shapes DNA repair after double-strand breaks.

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.

A study reveals the secrets behind the rodent’s remarkable ability to live 10 times longer than expected, without cancer or ...

Major biotech companies that churn out made-to-order DNA for scientists have protections in place ... even though open discussion and independent replication has been the lifeblood of science. The ...
