Some modern humans carry Neanderthal gene variants that affect how their bodies metabolize common medications. This explains recent genetic research linking ancient interbreeding to slower drug ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. A research group has demonstrated that overexpression of ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. In this paper, Stanojcic and colleagues attempt to map sites of ...

The authors attempt to use sequencing of nascent DNA (DNA linked to an RNA primer, "SNS-Seq") to localise DNA replication origins in Trypanosoma brucei, but they analyse the results for only part of ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A new forensic process is helping investigators across Oklahoma identify remains in cold cases dating back decades — including a Canadian County case involving a woman who had ...

Supermassive Games dropped a special clip of their upcoming game, Directive 8020, during IGN Fan Fest last week. Being marked as an exclusive to the stream when it ran, you can now check out the whole ...

In 2017, Apple launched a brand new app called Clips, a creative video app that originally could only make square aspect ratio movies. It had fun effects, automatic subtitle captions, and more.

For years, the federal government has been amassing DNA profiles of noncitizens. But recently released Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data reveal that officials knowingly collected the DNA of ...

A modular metamaterial mimics DNA geometry to combine twist compression, tunable stiffness, fast recovery, and reusable shock absorption for robotics and impact systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Across ...
