DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the fundamental building block of life. It carries the genetic instructions that dictate ...

Researchers have revealed new details about the CRISPR-Cas5-HNH/Cascade complex, a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is actively removed during spermatogenesis in a conserved process that enforces the uniparental ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each consist of a nucleobase, the carbohydrate deoxyribose and a phosphate group, where the carbohydrate and ...

The manuscript addresses the 3D chromatin architecture in monocytes from patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis and its relationship to enhanced transcription of innate immune genes. While the ...

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — Researchers have developed a new material that harnesses the power of enzymes more effectively. These materials have improved the reaction efficiency ... New Light-Tuned Chemical ...
