University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have addressed a longstanding challenge in CRISPR ...

At some point, RNA must have replicated itself before the evolutionary arrival of DNA and proteins, and now we might know how ...

A protein called PriC allows DNA replication to proceed in Escherichia coli when the complex that usually initiates this process is compromised.

The more species of Homo there were, the higher the rate of speciation. So when those niches got filled, something drove even more species to emerge. This is almost unparalleled in evolutionary ...

Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have ...

We introduce MADna, a sequence-dependent coarse-grained model of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), where each nucleotide is described by three beads localized at the sugar, at the base moiety, and at the ...

The molecular pathways involved in antiviral defenses and counter-defenses in host-pathogen systems remain unclear. Researchers have used Neurospora crassa as a model organism to explore how RNA ...

We report the design and construction of a nanometer-sized tetrahedron from a single strand of DNA that is 286 nucleotides long ... of the tetrahedron can be easily scaled up through in vivo ...

Researchers unveil the fractal globule structure of DNA, providing new insights into genome organization and its implications ...
