Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

When TV shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation portray DNA processing in the forensic lab, the results appear instantly with a DNA match wrapping up the case in hours. However, the ...

PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a revolutionary molecular biology technique that allows for the rapid amplification of specific DNA sequences. It is an essential tool in various fields, ...

DNA replication is a tightly controlled process that copies the genetic code, allowing its instructions to be conveyed from one generation of cells to the next. In diseases like cancer, these ...

As DNA strands ravel and unravel in an intricate dance, one notable event takes center stage: replication. This process is essential to life, but the finer details of its orchestrated steps are still ...

DNA replication is a complex process with many moving parts. In baker's yeast, the molecular complex Ctf18-RFC keeps parts of the replication machinery from falling off the DNA strand. Human cells use ...
