In an innovative fusion of biology and nanotechnology, scientists at the University of North Carolina (UNC) have developed ...
They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.
Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...
MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have published an analysis that reveals new functions of the ...
These burrowing animals have a biological mechanism that does the opposite of what it does in humans: it repairs DNA instead ...
Our brains evolved for complex thought and language - but the same genes that made us smarter may have increased mental illness risk.
In a major advance for biotechnology and bioinformatics, researchers from ETH Zurich have developed MetaGraph, a search ...
