India's wild elephant population has been estimated at 22,446, lower than the 2017 figure of 27,312, according to the country's first-ever DNA-based count. The All-India Synchronous Elephant ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell division—a discovery that could lead to new cancer therapies, according to ...

Peer ReviewDownload a summary of the editorial decision process including editorial decision letters, reviewer comments and author responses to feedback. DNA replication is essential to life and ...

In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Summary: A new study shows that the DNA repair enzyme Polβ plays a vital role in protecting the developing brain from harmful mutations. Researchers found that without Polβ, insertion-deletion ...

The ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions provides powerful applications for the development of selective, high-affinity antibodies, enzymes with new catalytic properties, and the ...

DNA replication is a fundamental biological process that enables the accurate duplication of an organism’s genetic material.

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

It is important to have an artificial self-replication system that undergoes exponential growth enabling modeling and control of competition, evolution, and directed evolution. Here, we introduce a ...
