This important study, which tackles the challenge of analyzing genome integrity and instability in unicellular pathogens by introducing a novel single-cell genomics approach, presents compelling ...

The new technique is called CLASSIC, an acronym for “combining long and short range sequencing to investigate genetic ...

Asking ‘what is life?’ is a good way to start arguments in science. As a recent informal poll suggests, no two individuals ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

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 ...

An Erie County judge has ordered DNA testing on evidence from a 1993 murder case. Willie James Hardy, 67, is challenging his conviction for the strangulation death of his former girlfriend, Deborah ...

Debbie Dorian's murder was unsolved until DNA evidence revealed a suspect. A California murder went unsolved for nearly 30 years, until one DNA match cracked the decades-old case. The murder of ...

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 ...
