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 ...
Nearly three decades after 15-year-old Danielle "Danni" Houchins was found dead near a fishing access site in Montana, authorities say DNA has finally led them to her killer — a married father of two ...
DNA replication is a semi-conservative process in which half of the newly synthesized strands (daughters) are derived from the original strands (mothers). The confirmation of semi-conservative ...
For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...
His decoding of the blueprint for life with Francis H.C. Crick made him one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He wrote a celebrated memoir and later ignited an uproar with racist ...
DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...
The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...

Amanda Kay Montoya is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Center for Open Science. She receives funding from the ...
Eukaryotic Polα-primase contains DNA polymerase (Pol1) and RNA primase subunits that together synthesize a >20-nucleotide hybrid RNA–DNA primer. Bacteria and archaea only require a dozen or less RNA ...
Get you Sample Report! DNA Ligase in DNA Replication DNA ligases are indispensable in DNA replication, ensuring genetic continuity. The process begins with helicase and gyrase unwinding the DNA. As ...
