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

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.

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 ...

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

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. We consider construction of a set of smaller 4 × 4 matrices to represent DNA primary sequences which are based ...

If DNA bridges remain between chromosomes after cell division, chromosomes become improperly segregated, resulting in genetic ...

Abstract Faithful chromosome segregation requires the removal of all DNA bridges physically linking chromatids before the completion of cell division ...
