The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Every time a cell copies its DNA, parts of the genome are exposed and vulnerable to damage or errors. Molecular biologist ...

Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...

Cold sore virus takes over human DNA within just one hour, study finds - Study is first to prove that herpes virus reshapes human genome deliberately ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unrecognised role for the cancer-associated ...

Scientists have discovered that a gene normally considered a DNA-protecting "good guy" can become dangerous when cells make too much of it. The gene, EXO1, acts like molecular scissors that help ...

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 ...

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have shown that a single injection of a small, circular piece of genetic instructions can ...
