Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

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 ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

DNA methylation plays an important role in separating us genetically from our closest relatives.

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 ...

Loss of an enzyme necessary for a process called lipoylation disrupts the way cancer cells copy their DNA, increasing their ...

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

Inhibiting RNase H2 increases DNA damage and activates immune responses in triple-negative breast cancer, suggesting a ...

Revising the structure and replication of DNA? Test your knowledge of the process and need for DNA replication with this Higher Biology quiz.

DNA replication is usually a very precise, templated process, but some enzymes are capable of "doodling," which might lead to ...
