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 ...

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

A study links the loss of DNA methylation across the genome—as is common in cancer—to the disruption of the 3-D compartments that organize the genome and to the timing of DNA replication. Cell lines ...

Since then DNA research has sought to explain the human code. Whether testing for possible diseases or tracing human history, interest in our genetic makeup has grown considerably. While we are ...

Witness the fascinating world of DNA replication brought to life through magnetic ball experiments. These magnetic games use a unique visual approach to demonstrate how the building blocks of life ...

The team initially set out to study another replication machinery protein ... but it's much more efficient to throw the motor out,” Wuite explained. Unlike cars, a cell has multiple DNA polymerase ...

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