Ending a two-decade search, investigators have experimental evidence that two replication forks diverging from a single origin are held together in space. Tomoyuki Tanaka and his colleagues at the ...

This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell's cytoplasm. The outcome of binary fission is two new cells that are ...

For decades, scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA. But life’s genetic blueprint is incredibly fragile, and researchers have struggled to find DNA in fossils that could ...

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

Over 26 million of us have taken a DNA test in the past decade. This growing popularity of genetic testing has created worldwide databases that allow us to ask questions previously impossible to ...

Made with the support of NZ on Air, this series takes a look at what makes some of our most famous NZers what they are. Unfortunately DNA Detectives isn't available to watch right now. Add it to ...

These new combinations result from the exchange of DNA between paired chromosomes. Such exchange means that the gametes produced through meiosis exhibit an amazing range of genetic variation.
