Recent scientific breakthroughs have transformed the once-dismissed non-coding DNA, or “junk DNA,” into a targeted weapon ...

mRNA plays a key role in the conversion of genetic information from DNA to proteins. Their production is a delicate process. A research team has now identified a crucial factor. The corona pandemic ...

The spontaneous deamination of cytosine is a major source of transitions from C•G to T•A base pairs, which account for half of known pathogenic point mutations in humans. The ability to efficiently ...

In the case of melanoma, however, Pfeifer and his team found a different mechanism that produces disease-causing mutations - the introduction of a chemical base not normally found in DNA that makes it ...

φ X174 and M13 (fd) single-stranded circular DNAs are converted to their replicative forms by extracts of E. coli pol A1 cells. We find that the φ X174 DNA-dependent reaction requires Mg ++, ATP, and ...

IRAPUATO, MEXICO/BUFFALO, N.Y. — Genes make up about 2 percent of the human genome. The rest consists of a genetic material known as noncoding DNA, and scientists have spent years puzzling over why ...

A few years ago, Harvard scientists successfully managed to encode a low-resolution GIF of a horse galloping into the DNA of an e.coli bacteria. Now, researchers have shown off the next level of DNA ...
