Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...

Inside every human cell, tiny mitochondria quietly convert nutrients into usable energy, keeping organs running and immune ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

DNA Full Form: The full name of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This molecule holds the complete genetic code of living organisms. The name “Deoxyribonucleic Acid” reflects its part: “Deoxy” points to ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...

Previously, researchers from Tianjin University designed and created a 254 kb digital data carrying artificial chromosome in yeast. This work “is a key proof-of-concept that demonstrated how ...

DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in viruses, ...

Cryo-EM revealed HIV-1 integrase’s distinct structures as it shifts between its two roles of DNA integration and RNA-binding.
