The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

On Wednesday, Microsoft released the complete source code for Microsoft BASIC for 6502 Version 1.1, the 1978 interpreter that powered the Commodore PET, VIC-20, Commodore 64, and Apple II through ...

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 ...

Delta Air Lines is renaming its fare classes, including folding Basic Economy into a new "Delta Main" category. Delta Main will have three levels: Basic, Classic, and Extra, offering varying perks and ...

This valuable descriptive manuscript builds on prior research showing that the elimination of Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) subunits does not halt DNA replication. The authors obtain solid data ...

The discovery of DNA ligase by the Gellert, Lehman, Richardson, and Hurwitz teams in 1967 was a breakthrough in molecular biology. These essential enzymes maintain genome integrity and play a vital ...

Large eukaryotic genomes are packaged into the restricted area of the nucleus to protect the genetic code and provide a dedicated environment to read, copy and repair DNA. The physical organisation of ...
