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 ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...

Promega files patent for first-of-its-kind enzyme that minimizes stutter artifacts in STR analysis Reduced stutter polymerase enhances accuracy, efficiency and reliability of DNA profiling in forensic ...

Researchers from Rice University and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, took a close look at one of ways cells repair broken strands of DNA and discovered details that could ...

When an SSB appears, polymerase epsilon approaches the nick before retracing its steps thanks to its exonuclease, allowing fork reversal to take place. The nick is repaired as an SSB, and replication ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

DNA, RNA and protein reading just got thousands of times faster with the commercial release of Roswell Biotechnologies molecular electronics chip. The first molecular electronics chip has been ...

Since the dawn of science, one of mankind’s most impossible dreams has been the creation of life in a test tube. Last week scientists moved a step closer to making the dream possible. In Palo Alto, ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...
