Real image of DNA molecules being copied in human cells, visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy. The yellow arrows mark where replication begins, and the white arrows indicate the direction ...

This process is essential for the proper functioning and survival of all living organisms. DNA replication is the process by which the DNA molecule makes an exact copy of itself during cell division.

When Watson and Crick reported the double helix in 1953, they gave the scientific community a breakthrough understanding of how genetic information is stored and copied. For DNA to replicate ...

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

during which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied into two identical DNA molecules. Scientists have taken advantage of the power of DNA polymerase molecules to copy DNA molecules in test tubes ...

And each time this happens, your entire genetic library—your genome, which totals more than 3 billion base pairs of DNA—has ...

Scientists have captured the first detailed 'molecular movie' showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level -- revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying their genetic material.

Then, because bacteria divide rapidly, they can be used as factories to copy DNA fragments in large quantities.

And each time this happens, your entire genetic library -- your genome, which totals more than 3 billion base pairs of DNA -- has to be copied, precisely, from the parent cell to the new daughter ...

When preparing standards for a standard curve, for example, knowing the number of copies you have in your DNA stock is essential to be able to work out a dilution series. This can easily be achieved ...
