A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body. Researchers studying Plasmodium falciparum found that the parasite relies ...

A new study finds that when p53, one of the most important cancer-protecting genes, stops working, cells produce too much RNA ...

A new discovery by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics (BDR) in Japan upends decades of assumptions regarding DNA replication. Led by Ichiro Hiratani and colleagues, the ...

DNA replication and repair mechanisms constitute the foundation of genomic integrity, ensuring that genetic information is faithfully duplicated and maintained across cell generations. Replication ...

Bacterial DNA replication is a highly coordinated process that ensures faithful genome duplication and cell division. Replication initiates at a single chromosomal origin (oriC) where multiple copies ...

A molecular illustration of the crowded interior and cell envelope of Escherichia coli. (David S. Goodsell, The Scripps Research Institute) To replicate information, life usually has fairly ...

Scientists long believed tardigrades survived lethal radiation by masterfully rebuilding their destroyed DNA, but new ...

Researchers mapped RNA fragments embedded in human DNA, revealing a new genomic layer called the "ribome" that may shape gene ...
