A study by WEHI scientists has shed new light on one of the most fundamental mysteries of biology: how cells divide and grow ...

The technology could zero in on one spot in a cell’s genome, and then either snip out or insert new DNA. Dr. Shendure and his colleagues set out to use CRISPR to record a cell’s history.

Innovations in cell-free gene synthesis decrease turnaround times for obtaining full-length, complex, NGS-verified DNA from weeks or months to as few as 6-8 business days. Cell-free DNA speeds ...

Each cell in a plant, animal, or person contains millions, or even billions, of DNA base pairs—molecules connected by hydrogen bonds that are the building blocks of DNA. These base pairs ...

CHK1 inhibitors release the brakes on cell-cycle arrest, rendering the DNA-damaged ecDNA-containing cancer cells vulnerable to apoptosis. 6 Efforts to monitor ecDNA levels noninvasively in blood ...

Researchers have been working on DNA-based data storage for decades, but a new template-based method inspired by our cells’ chemical processes is easy enough for even nonscientists to practice.

The enzymes that handle DNA molecules are often called "polymerases," but the -ase suffix denotes an enzyme. When not undergoing replication, DNA molecules float freely within the cytoplasm of a cell.
