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 ...

A new study has revealed how the fundamental enzyme called DNA polymerase delta operates during DNA replication, making a copy of the genetic code that can be transmitted through the generations.

DNA Replication: Within the nucleus of every cell are long strings of DNA, the code that holds all the information needed to make and control every cell within a living organism.

DNA replication and repair are critical processes that ensure the correct genetic material of a biological system is carried on. DNA continually undergoes a process of replication and division and ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a common virus linked to birth defects and chronic illness manipulates ...

The manipulation of DNA replication and the adoption of advanced gene-editing technologies illustrate a remarkable convergence of scientific innovation and ethical considerations.
