DNA replication is the biological process by which an exact copy of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is created and it is the basis for biological inheritance. Each of the two strands of the ...

A new study in the journal Nature throws a new theory into the fray. Analyzing a wealth of DNA collected from fossilized human bones, the researchers found that the first Indo-European speakers ...

Ancient DNA locates the geographic origin of Proto-Indo-Europeans and Proto-Anatolians and describes their early migrations out of the Caucasus Lower Volga and North Pontic regions of present-day ...

Learning about your genetics and ancestry is easier than ever. All you need to do is choose from the many DNA ancestry tests available online, receive your kit and send back the required DNA samples.

"These short sequences are known as a gene's 'promoters' and are critical because they control whether the DNA sequence for a specific gene is read and translated into its actual function," added Dr.

DNA polymerases carry out crucial functions in many DNA metabolic processes. Polymerases catalyse the addition, using a template, of complementary nucleotides to the 3′ end of DNA primer strands.

In partnership with Jagiellonian University (Poland), and the John Innes Centre, our researchers outlined how a bacterial enzyme called DNA gyrase twists and stabilises DNA. Found in all bacteria but ...

Targeting of bacterial gyrase ... and coagulation functions. Metabolomic analysis demonstrated compensatory metabolic adjustments affecting protein synthesis and DNA replication in the resistant ...

we analyzed the changes in DNA methylation levels after allotransplantation in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii, and elucidated the regulatory function of DNA methylation in promoter activity of ...

The first line of host defense against pathogenic threats is orchestrated by the innate immune system, which relies on the ability of immune cells to recognize the presence of extracellular or ...
