Researchers have revealed new details about the CRISPR-Cas5-HNH/Cascade complex, a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

Hydrogels are polymeric materials with three-dimensional network structures containing large amounts of water. They serve as sustained-release drug delivery systems as they can encapsulate various ...

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive organelles, such as micro-compartments found in some bacteria, help organize cellular processes by concentrating ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics have unveiled a groundbreaking map of human DNA mixing during reproduction, offering insights into genetic diversity, health, and fertility. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

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 ...

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 ...
