New research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison reveals that dysfunction in a protein essential to maintaining ...
Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human genome—comprising about 17% of the genome. It is commonly called a "jumping gene" or ...
DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...
DNA replication is one of the most important processes in biology, responsible for ensuring that a cell's genetic material is copied over to new cells efficiently during cell division. But what ...
A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified. A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA ...
Every person starts as just one fertilized egg. By adulthood, that single cell has turned into roughly 37 trillion cells, many of which keep dividing to create the same amount of fresh human cells ...
The radiation in space is not great for biological health. Space radiation is known to damage DNA. Many types of human cells have to frequently divide to replace cells that are worn out, old, or ...
Researchers at Colorado State University have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach ...
As cells divide, they must copy all of their chromosomes once and only once, or chaos would ensue. How do they do it? By Amber Dance/Knowable Magazine Published Jul 7, 2023 6:00 PM EDT This article ...
A new study has revealed that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to ...
To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...
