Arthur Kornberg compared DNA to a tape recording of instructions that can be copied over and over. How do cells make these near-perfect copies, and does the process ever vary? In reality, the process ...

Termination of DNA replication occurs when two replication forks meet on the same stretch of DNA, during which the following events occur, although not necessarily in this order: forks converge until ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular aging, cancer, ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool,” physicist Richard Feynman famously told the young scientists graduating from CalTech in 1974. Fully ...

Database management systems have been a crucial component of infrastructures for many years now. PostgreSQL is an advanced, object-relational database management system that is frequently used to ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...

Your support goes further this holiday season. When you buy an annual membership or give a one-time contribution, we’ll give a membership to someone who can’t afford access. It’s a simple way for you ...

Over the past several decades, the lack of reproducibility in biomedical research has become increasingly concerning, particularly in the drug development process. The study of science has undergone a ...

Two new papers claim to show that AI has abilities that we should know about—including cloning itself. These technologies have vacuumed up millions of people’s work and can mimic code and phrasing.
