Cardiff University researchers discovered how a particularly severe type of DNA damage occurs, giving fresh insight into mutation mechanisms that contribute to cancer and inherited genetic diseases.

A common type of error-correcting mechanism in biology is called kinetic proofreading. For example, if errors turn up when cells are making new DNA, enzymes can cut out incorrect nucleotides. They can ...

Researchers have deciphered the process by which the influenza virus steals the cap of the host RNA to replicate.

Criminalistics Subject Matter Expert Debra Stonebarger joins us on FOX 10 Talks to provide a critical forensic breakdown of the latest DNA developments in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance. Stonebarger, ...

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 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 ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A new forensic process is helping investigators across Oklahoma identify remains in cold cases dating back decades — including a Canadian County case involving a woman who had ...

Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...

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 ...

The crystal structure of the Sld3CBD-Cdc45 complex presented by Li et al. is a significant contribution that enhances our understanding of CMG formation during the rate-limiting step of DNA ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...
