BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Piero Bianco produces movies. Not films that chronicle the human condition, a la Hollywood. His subject is human biology at its most basic -- the translocation and unwinding of DNA by ...

A new technique for creating artificial DNA that is faster, more accurate and more flexible than existing methods has been developed by scientists. A new technique for creating artificial DNA that is ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...

A quiet but critical DNA process that begins even before birth may hold the key to understanding infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and genetic conditions like Down syndrome. Researchers at UC Davis ...

This schematic depicts molecules of the DNA repair protein, Rad51 (green ovals), assembling into a filament on an optically trapped DNA molecule. Below, a series of images shows a fluorescently ...

The motors can sense chemical information in their environment, process that information, and then respond accordingly, mimicking some basic properties of living cells. "Previous DNA computers did not ...

A study of where and how an enzyme cuts DNA may have inadvertently revealed a basic principle of gene regulation, say researchers in Boston Children's Hospital's Program in Cellular and Molecular ...
