A single molecule of DNA (not directly visible) is captured using microscopic beads (the large circles). Each of the red, green or yellow dots moving between the beads represent a FANCD2I-FANCI ...

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 ...

CDCA7, whose mutations alter DNA methylation pattern and cause immunodeficiency, is a novel sensor for a special class of methylated DNA. DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

Scientists at TU Delft and the Max Planck Institute have made a new class of structurally adaptable ‘mechanical’ pores made from DNA that can transport molecules through cell membranes. These ...

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 ...

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...
