Scientists used a bacterial system called retron to turn DNA into a programmable tool inside living cells, enabling gene ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division - a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according ...

King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST)Mar 19 2025 For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA ...

New research has found that oestrogen-induced DNA damage in individuals carrying BRCA1 mutations may play a crucial role in the initiation of cancer, while also pointing to a potential dietary ...

A new single-molecule flow-stretch assay enables real-time observation of DNA-protein interactions to identify the molecular ...

Oestrogen-induced DNA damage drives genomic instability in BRCA1 mutation cells, with dietary compounds showing protective potential.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without any template to guide them, a behavior the team calls “doodling.” Published ...
