A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from ...

A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

dynamic DNA nanotechnology relies upon the combination of DNA self-assembly with DNA strand displacement reactions. Taken together, these DNA devices are capable of altering their state following ...

"If this affects DNA strand separation, all protein interactions with DNA are also going to be affected," Marko said. "For example, the tendency for proteins to stick to specific sites on DNA and ...

Each time a cell divides, the two resulting daughter cells must contain exactly the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. To accomplish this, each strand of existing DNA acts as a ...

Scientists have uncovered a critical role for rapid DNA repair in maintaining genome stability. A new study reveals that ...

In a mind-boggling world first, a team of biologists and security researchers have successfully infected a computer with a malicious program coded into a strand of DNA. It sounds like science ...

However, it is conceivable that we could also use other base modifications and thus develop an entire alphabet to describe the DNA strand," Hao Yan, one of the authors, told c't. He is head of the ...

The researchers watched replicating DNA from E. coli bacteria. The first step in the process always sees the double helix “unzipping” into two strands — a “leading strand” and a ...

On their own, however, polymerases aren't good at staying on the DNA strand. They require CTF18-RFC in humans and Ctf18-RFC in yeast to thread a ring-shaped clamp onto the DNA leading strand ...

A startup called Biomemory is selling a pricey DNA-powered storage solution that houses just one kilobyte of data. A startup called Biomemory is selling a pricey DNA-powered storage solution that ...
