They hijack a little-known piece of the cell's DNA repair function to close themselves into a ring-like shape and then create a matching double strand. The finding upends 40 years of conventional ...

Lo’s discovery marked a new avenue of inquiry, and over the next 14 years, others confirmed his findings, methods were developed for the analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to identify fetal ...

As a graduate student in 2000, he spent six months trying to build a cell that could periodically alter a tiny bit of its own DNA. After six months of failure, he abandoned the project.

To copy itself, however, LINE-1 must enter each cell's nucleus, the inner barrier that houses DNA. Now a new study, published online in the journal Science Advances, reveals that LINE-1 binds to ...

FARGO, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldevron, a global leader in the production of DNA, RNA and protein, has launched its latest innovation, Alchemy™ cell-free DNA technology. This revolutionary ...

Each time a cell divides, the DNA, which contains the genetic codes in the cells, must be replicated. This process occurs constantly within the human body throughout life. "This cell division ...

In December 2020, the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper titled CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing for Sickle Cell Disease and β-Thalassemia, marking an exciting new chapter in the treatment of ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The nucleus of each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome contains about 1000 genes. There is ...

All cells are produced from other cells by the process of cell division. Cell division occurs when one cell divides to produce two new cells. Unicellular organisms use cell division to reproduce.
