Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have ...

POLG mutations impair mitochondrial DNA replication and cause diverse mitochondrial diseases. Here, the authors show that structural differences in the POLγB subunit between humans and mice ...

Because DNA replication errors or environmental agents that damage DNA can introduce mutations if not corrected, multiple cellular DNA repair mechanisms exist to remove damaged regions of ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through ...

We report the design and construction of a nanometer-sized tetrahedron from a single strand of DNA that is 286 nucleotides long ... of the tetrahedron can be easily scaled up through in vivo ...

The exonuclease-amplified assay can detect target DNA at concentrations as low as 10 pM when performed at 37 °C, which represents a significant improvement over the equivalent molecular beacon alone.
