Rapidly mutating DNA regions were mapped using a multi-generational family and advanced sequencing tools. Understanding how ...

The RNP complex is the influenza virus’s essential package, the virus’s blueprints and a copy machine all rolled in one. The ...

Scientists found a compound that appears to counter common mutations behind POLG-related diseases, rare conditions that harm ...

Scientists at Stockholm University and the Centre for Palaeogenetics in Sweden analyzed the mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of 34 mammoths whose DNA had never been sequenced before.

This valuable descriptive manuscript builds on prior research showing that the elimination of Origin Recognition Complex (ORC) subunits does not halt DNA replication. The authors obtain solid data ...

An ancient Middle Eastern civilization that developed an early alphabet spread its culture far and wide—but not its DNA, finds a 23 April Nature study of hundreds of ancient human genomes.

Perhaps the most well-known of these components are proteins — long chains of amino acids that cells make with instructions from the DNA. When the DNA changes, the cell is able to make new ...

These structures have recently been implicated in several cellular processes, such as DNA replication initiation during cell division, gene expression regulation, and the function of telomeres ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Parts of our DNA may evolve much faster than previously thought Date: April 23, 2025 Source: University of Utah Health Summary: A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop ...

The work is published in the journal Nature. The new study aimed to use ancient DNA to characterize Punic people's ancestry and look for genetic links between them and Levantine Phoenicians ...
