Researchers show how a DNA-binding protein can search the entire genome for its target sequence without getting held up on the way. The result contradicts our current understanding of gene regulation ...

Researchers link a stretch of DNA to a peptide of interest and measure current changes as the molecule is pulled by a helicase through a nanopore. Since the 1990s, nanopores have been used for ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal, the bowhead whale, revealing a mechanism that could potentially prolong the human lifespan ...

DNA is a biological molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to function, develop, and reproduce. It is present in all forms of life on earth and contains each organism’s genetic code ...

Scientists have cracked the DNA code of the longest living mammal - the bowhead whale. It can live for more than 200 years ...

Bigger animals such as whales and elephants, should have a higher risk of succumbing to cancer as they have more cells dividing over a longer period, leaving more room for mutations.

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. Published online May 16 in the journal Cell, the report describes the ...

A better understanding of protein glycosylation offers insights into disease mechanisms and helps improve therapeutic medicines.
