DNA is genetic material found in the cell nucleus, carrying inherited information (genes) that give us our unique characteristics. Each one of our 100 million million cells contains nearly two ...

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process ...

Each ODN in the Takumi-shaped DNA structure was constructed with an eight-18 nucleotide-long palindromic stem attached to two cohesive parts on either side with a thymidine (T) spacer. The ODNs ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a subtype of RNA. An mRNA molecule carries a portion of the DNA code to other parts of the cell for processing. mRNA is created during transcription. During the ...

Although previous studies have mapped parts of Pol-theta's structure, the enzyme's interactions with DNA weren't well understood. "What's been missing is how Pol-theta actually engages DNA ...
