When a nucleotide is incorporated, the proximity causes a FRET signal. The DNA molecule lights up, and the color indicates the base identity because the fluorophores on the nucleotides are color ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

Discover how an emerging technology called tRNA therapy could become the next big thing in genetic disease treatment.

These four nucleotide molecules — adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine, or simply A, T, C and G — along with a phosphate molecule and a sugar molecule, form the long double-helix DNA strands which ...

Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic ...

Scientists at the University of California, Riverside, have discovered how adult stem cells retain their regenerative power.

According to new research next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) -- the same technology which is powering the development of tailor-made medicines, cancer diagnostics, infectious disease tracking, and ...

The sequence of bases on the primer is configured so that it binds to the portion of interest on the DNA. The temperature in this phase is lowered to around 60º C. Next, another molecule called ...

Recently, Professor Frédéric Veyrier at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and his team developed a new genetic tool based on a family of specific enzymes called Ssn that allows ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question.
