In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

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 ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis. If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

FARGO, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldevron, a global leader in the production of DNA, RNA and protein, has launched its latest innovation, Alchemy™ cell-free DNA technology. This revolutionary technology ...
