An international research team has successfully identified the initial high-resolution structures of the herpes simplex virus ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

Scientists have discovered how LINE-1, a “jumping gene” that makes up 17% of the human genome, inserts itself into DNA. Using ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

Researchers at Spain’s CNIO have mapped 20,000 distinct DNA repair “scars,” building the first human REPAIRome. This atlas reveals how each human gene shapes DNA repair after double-strand breaks.

A spider on the Canary Islands lost half its DNA but gained more genetic variety. Scientists say this changes how we ...
