Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without any template to guide them, a behavior the team calls “doodling.” Published ...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has made analyzing DNA faster and cheaper, with effects felt in the lab, clinic, and beyond. A set of newly-launched technologies are offering a twist on the chemistry ...
Scheme showing the structure of cytosine, 5-methylcytosine, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. Adding a methyl group to the DNA base cytosine represses gene expression in mammalian cells. To remove the ...
Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.
The protection of confidential communications, a strategic pillar in the information age, has just received a revolutionary ...
