Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these ...

Here, we show that cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate the phosphorylation of threonine 118 (T118) in PNKP. This phosphorylation allows recruitment to the gapped DNA structure found in ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

A comprehensive review titled "From the Test Tube to the Cell: A Homecoming for DNA Computing Circuits?" published Mar. 4 in Intelligent Computing ...

As DNA polymerase extends the leading strand, Okazaki fragments form on the lagging strand ... Despite challenges posed by multiple DNA ligases with overlapping functions in human cells, ...

Catching cancer early using a blood test—called a “liquid biopsy”—has long been a goal of cancer research. Such tests would ...
