Witness the fascinating world of DNA replication brought to life through magnetic ball experiments. These magnetic games use a unique visual approach to demonstrate how the building blocks of life ...

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...

The high accuracy or fidelity of semi-conservative DNA replication is the product of nucleotide template interaction, polymerase-enhanced base selectivity, exonuclease proofreading and the post ...

What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

In an article published in Molecular Cell, scientists have discovered how the three-dimensional organization of DNA in our ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

Learning about your genetics and ancestry is easier than ever. All you need to do is choose from the many DNA ancestry tests available online, receive your kit and send back the required DNA samples.

The replication crisis in psychology refers to concerns about the credibility of findings in psychological science. The term, which originated in the early 2010s, denotes that findings in ...
