Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

A new study reveals that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to grow, ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

HOUSTON – (Aug. 9, 2022) – Knowing the structure of a complex biological system isn’t nearly enough to understand how it works. It helps to know how the system moves. In that light, Rice University ...

Humans and baker's yeast have more in common than meets the eye, including an important mechanism that helps ensure DNA is copied correctly, reports a pair of studies. The findings visualize for the ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA ...

A new research paper titled "Development of a DNA damage-induced senescence model in osteoarthritic chondrocytes" has been published in Aging. Senescent cells (SnCs) have been described to accumulate ...
