How to sequence DNA How to sequence DNA A) DNA polymerase binds to a single-stranded DNA template (blue) and synthesizes a complementary strand of DNA (red).

As a result, any part of the sequence can be used either to create or to recognize its partner nucleotide sequence — the two functions that are central for DNA replication and DNA recombination ...

The researchers then compared each person's copy number information with his or her genetic sequence data to see if they could match specific genetic variants to replication timing differences.

Marching to our own sequence: DNA replication insight Date: November 13, 2014 Source: Harvard Medical School Summary: Imagine being asked to copy a library of books. Doing it yourself would take ...

Biological systems are complicated. Though DNA may carry a simple sequence of base pairs, once this information is transcribed into RNA and translated into proteins, this simple sequence can give rise ...

Many regions help control when and where genes are active. A genetic variant is a change in the DNA sequence. When a variant occurs in reproductive cells, it can be passed from parent to child and ...

Mistakes made during DNA replication can lead to mutations—permanent alterations in the DNA sequence that can have varying effects on the organism, ranging from benign to harmful.

Researchers find that the DNA polymerase Taq is not as accurate as was once thought, giving new insight into the dynamics of DNA replication.

How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence? A new method lets anyone with a kit write data to DNA with just one enzyme.

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...
