For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes ...

The manipulation of DNA replication and the adoption of advanced gene-editing technologies illustrate a remarkable convergence of scientific innovation and ethical considerations.

The first step in DNA replication requires the assembly of a group of proteins called the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC). Researchers have determined how the ORC assembles during the cell ...

In an outstanding experimental effort, the researchers observed indeed that slowing down the DNA replication speed – for example by limiting the substrate that the cells use for DNA synthesis ...

Technology DNA nanobots can exponentially self-replicate Tiny machines made from strands of DNA can build copies of themselves, leading to exponential replication.
