An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Improved treatment for rare and aggressive “ALT cancers” that claim the lives of 5000 to 7000 Australians each year is the focus of $5 million in research funding.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

An Erie County judge has ordered DNA testing on evidence from a 1993 murder case. Willie James Hardy, 67, is challenging his conviction for the strangulation death of his former girlfriend, Deborah ...

For years, the federal government has been amassing DNA profiles of noncitizens. But recently released Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data reveal that officials knowingly collected the DNA of ...

DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, carrying encoded genetic information at molecular level, is the most significant discovery in the history of genetics. Previous researches on DNA included topics of bases, ...
