DNA replication is the biological process by which an exact copy of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is created and it is the basis for biological inheritance. Each of the two strands of the ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

The small study in patients with a rare disorder that causes liver and lung damage showed the potential for precisely targeted infusions. By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease ...

Cosmic rays from a nearby supernova would soon rain down on the unsuspecting cichlids, tearing apart their DNA, causing the fish to mutate and opening the door for myriad viruses to infect their ...

The effect on the worms was due to something that was being inherited and accumulated in the offspring, yet had nothing to do with any nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) or anything related to them, ...

A research team has identified NEAT1, a long non-coding RNA, as a key player in DNA repair. This discovery links RNA metabolism to genome stability and opens up potential new cancer treatments. Credit ...

The prosecution’s most important piece of evidence is a DNA sample taken from a knife sheath left at the crime scene. Investigators then used investigative genetic genealogy, or IGG, a forensic ...
