The Japanese wolf, last seen in 1905, was a cross between a giant variant and an unknown variant, scientists said in a theory that differs from two existing hypotheses on the mysterious creature. The ...

DNA replication is a fundamental process essential for bacterial growth and survival. Initiation begins at the chromosomal origin (oriC), where the conserved initiator protein DnaA assembles into an ...

DNA coding theory bridges the disciplines of mathematics, computer science and molecular biology by applying advanced algebraic and combinatorial techniques to the design of nucleotide sequences. This ...

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

New ancient DNA research reveals Rapa Nui ancestry lacks Native American genetics, challenging past theories of Polynesian-Native American contact. Thanks to its geography, the southeastern Pacific ...
