It has long been accepted that a gene's protein-coding information is contained in only one of its two DNA strands. But in 22 February Nature, Victor Corces and co-workers at the Department of Biology ...
A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...
DNA-to-protein mapping could help researchers understand some health disparities. A new genetic mapping study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health traces links ...
The human genome contains around 20,000 genes that hold instructions for making working proteins, as most genetic databases ...
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...
Plasmids, small circular DNA molecules found in bacteria, may contain antibiotic-resistance genes and have the ability to replicate independently. Bacteria can transfer these plasmids to one another, ...
