Scientists successfully induced gene expression from a DNA and evolution through continuous replication extracellularly using cell-free materials alone for the first time. By adding the genes ...

Professor Norikazu Ichihashi and his colleagues at the University of Tokyo have successfully induced gene expression from a DNA, characteristic of all life, and evolution through continuous ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL--In order to divide, cells must first replicate their chromosomes. Cells use an array of proteins to accomplish the job, including a large enzyme complex that synthesizes new ...

An curved arrow pointing right. For the first time, scientists have recorded DNA replication in real time. The scientists extracted DNA from E. coli bacteria, dyed it, and then watched the DNA ...

Long strands of DNA wind themselves around a chromatin “spool” made out of the protein histone in this picture taken with a new 3-D atomic-force microscope, the NanoWizard BioAFM. Histone plays a ...

A University of Sheffield study has provided a brand new insight into how our DNA can replicate itself. The team has captured "never before seen snapshots of enzymes trimming branched DNA after cell ...

(Nanowerk News) The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer modelling, a team of ...

Embryonic cells need to divide, fast. But mess with their chromatin, and they’ll stall. The moment a sperm and egg fuse, they become something special: a totipotent zygote cell, fast-dividing and able ...

A critical feature of the robustness of the DNA replication machinery is the ability to complete its task in the presence of interfering DNA damage. A key mechanism responsible for this task is ...

The ability to proliferate and evolve is one of the defining characteristics of living organisms. However, no artificial materials with these characteristics have been created. In order to develop an ...
