The process in addition renews the surrounding DNA and removes harmful modifications. “… this mechanism results in renewal of the non-G4 strand, which allows for erasing potentially mutagenic ...

Our DNA is usually shaped like a double helix. However, under certain conditions, a single strand of DNA can fold into a G-quadruplex (G4) structure, which looks like a knot. These knots often form in ...

Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it ...

Human DNA is usually shaped like a double helix. However, under certain conditions, a single strand of DNA can fold into a G-quadruplex (G4) structure, which looks like a knot.

PhD candidate Asli Munzur looked at blood mutations caused by two cancer treatments to work out potential side effects of a ...

Here, the authors show that VCP/p97 extracts the DNA polymerase α/Primase complex from chromatin, preventing excessive priming in the lagging strand and reducing the activation of the replication ...

A mom of three took a routine DNA test—only to discover something that shattered everything she thought she knew. The results pointed to her twin as the biological mother… but she had no twin.

Scientists studying ancient human remains uncovered in Colombia have found that the people they were researching have no known ancestors or modern descendants.
