Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

A new platform developed at Scripps Research enables fast, scalable protein evolution. This potentially opens the door to new ...

Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

During replication, one of the new DNA strands, called the lagging strand, is synthesized in short fragments called Okazaki fragments. These fragments are synthesized in the opposite direction of the ...

Everyone knows that the fall brings flu season, replete with aches, pains and a new version of the vaccine. But why is cold ...

Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory found that Dicer, an ancient RNA-cutting protein shared by humans and yeast, ...

After decades of mystery, scientists have finally figured out the structure of a key herpes virus protein that is vital for ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...

Trial in progress: First-in-human study of PFL-721/STX-721 in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. This is an ASCO ...

Sections of DNA once dismissed as dormant and useless could in fact be recruited to fight certain types of drug-resistant ...
