Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that recognizes and eliminates "bad" transcriptional ...

DNA polymerase (DNAP) is a type of enzyme that is responsible for forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules. Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park ...

Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a laboratory technique used to make multiple copies of a segment of DNA. PCR is very precise and can be used to amplify, or copy, a specific DNA target from a ...

where the enzyme DNA polymerase zips along the single strands starting at the primer to replicate the DNA. The cycle repeats and copies of the original DNA accumulate exponentially. Like any ...

During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While ...
