They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Visualizing and quantifying DNA replication dynamics in living human cells remains challenging. Here, a new super-resolution ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

If parent cells and their daughter cells are to share a stable identity, parent cells must divide—and replicate their DNA—while ensuring that their histones are distributed properly to their daughter ...

A University of Alberta research team has uncovered a new role for a genetic mutation previously known to be linked to ...

The discovery centers on the unique strands of DNA contained within our mitochondria, the power stations of our cells. By ...

According to the new study, HIV achieves this with a tissue-specific approach, cloaking itself in a host cell's DNA by ...
