Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to ...

Researchers have discovered a plausible evolutionary setting in which nucleic acids – the fundamental genetic building blocks of life – could enable their own replication, possibly leading to life on ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

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

Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...
