From the blueprint of life encoded in our DNA to the awe-inspiring complexity of our genetic inheritance, we will embark on a journey through the microscopic world within us and witness the remarkable ...

Researchers have modeled a key mechanism by which DNA replicates. The study could help identify new targets to treat disease. Knowing the structure of a complex biological system isn't nearly enough ...

The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer modelling, a team of physicists and ...

Mitochondrial transcription elongation factor maintains the balance between transcription and replication of mitochondrial DNA offering insights into potential treatments for mitochondrial disease and ...

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA, opening up endless possibilities for exploring the genome and genetics. For over 70 years, biologists around the ...
