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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Researchers show how a DNA-binding protein can search the entire genome for its target sequence without getting held up on the way. The result contradicts our current understanding of gene regulation ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers analyzing 4.3 billion dipeptides say tiny protein pairs hold clues to how the genetic code formed and expanded over ...
