Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

This illustration shows proteins and DNA in the process of DNA repair. RecA proteins (gold) cradle a single-stranded DNA (brown) that searches for homology with a DNA template (purple). The template ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Piero Bianco produces movies. Not films that chronicle the human condition, a la Hollywood. His subject is human biology at its most basic -- the translocation and unwinding of DNA by ...

A new technique for creating artificial DNA that is faster, more accurate and more flexible than existing methods has been developed by scientists. A new technique for creating artificial DNA that is ...

The motors can sense chemical information in their environment, process that information, and then respond accordingly, mimicking some basic properties of living cells. "Previous DNA computers did not ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

A study of where and how an enzyme cuts DNA may have inadvertently revealed a basic principle of gene regulation, say researchers in Boston Children's Hospital's Program in Cellular and Molecular ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL–Imagine information stored on something only a hundredth the size of the next generation computer chip–and made from nature’s own storage molecule, DNA. A team led by Richard ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...
