Swansea University has helped uncover a surprising new role for platelets—one that could significantly advance early cancer detection. The study, led by the University of Oxford and published in ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

It is important to have an artificial self-replication system that undergoes exponential growth enabling modeling and control of competition, evolution, and directed evolution. Here, we introduce a ...

Emerging methods are improving the ability to identify even highly degraded human remains. By Damien Cave Reporting from Hanoi, Vietnam The world is facing an abundance of tragic events that produce ...

Cancer’s genetic fingerprints may lurk in people’s blood long before they find out about the disease. It’s possible to spot tumor DNA more than three years before a person is diagnosed with cancer, ...

Ensuring that DNA replication occurs at the right stage of the cell cycle is of crucial importance in biology. In bacteria, DNA replication begins with the assembly of a DNA-protein complex called the ...

Scientists have uncovered the locations of mysterious DNA shapes across great ape genomes, potentially reshaping our understanding of genetic function and evolution. Researchers utilized recently ...
