Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) represents a rare and intriguing deviation from the standard model of strictly maternal inheritance. In bivalves, DUI manifests as the ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

Two new tools created at Gladstone Institutes allow scientists to study DNA at single-molecule resolution using fewer cells than previously required, with clear applications for cancer and many other ...
