A unique feature of HR is that it repairs the damage to the DNA in a highly accurate way. In eukaryotic cells (those with a ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

This landmark study describes the structure of the human RAD51 filament with a recombination intermediate called the displacement loop (D-loop). Using cryogenic structural, biochemical, and ...

Find more information on the Altmetric Attention Score and how the score is calculated. The assembly, structure, and stability of DNA nanocages with the shape of truncated octahedra have been studied.

We consider construction of a set of smaller 4 × 4 matrices to represent DNA primary sequences which are based on enumeration of all 64 triplets of nucleic acids bases. The leading eigenvalue from the ...

By analyzing ancient and modern DNA, scientists are uncovering the genetic origins of the Greek people, shaped over millennia ...

The resulting structure is knitted together by a few ... from the start of the design process. Of course, the primary goal of DNA nanotechnology is not to create aesthetically pleasing sculptures ...

Oscar winner Hooper is directing the pic which is inspired by the true story of Rosalind Franklin, the groundbreaking British scientist who first unveiled the hidden structure of DNA but whose ...

Here we report the structure of an engineered replication terminator protein (RTP) of Bacillus subtilis in complex with a 21 base pair DNA by X-ray crystallography at 2.5 Å resolution.

Cancer cell lines in culture can survive and replicate DNA replication after genetic inactivation of individual ORC subunits, ORC1, ORC2, or ORC5. In primary cells, ORC1 was dispensable in the mouse ...
