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 ...

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells. University ...

Mitochondrial DNA has long been treated as a workhorse record of cellular history, but new research suggests it also hides a subtle and previously overlooked form of damage. By uncovering this cryptic ...

DNA enzymatic synthesis represents an enormously valuable next step in harnessing the power of DNA replication and our ability to use it for developing cutting-edge, biotechnology solutions. DNA (or ...

Most of them come from a subset of viruses called retroviruses, which infect host cells and then trick them into making the ...
