Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

A research team led by Professor Yuanliang ZHAI at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) collaborating with Professor Ning GAO and Professor Qing LI from Peking ...

From decoding DNA replication to engineering synthetic genomes, yeast research is unlocking secrets that impact medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. Scientists use ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

Genetics can be an intimidating subject, but the right mix of study techniques can make it manageable—and even enjoyable. From active recall tools like flashcards to research-backed prediction ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...
