Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...
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 ...
Exonuclease action of replicative polymerase gamma drives damage-induced mitochondrial DNA clearance
How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...
Once scientists have zeroed in on a specific segment of DNA, how do they produce enough copies of that segment for their research? In most cases, the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is their ...
DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...
Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that recognizes and eliminates "bad" transcriptional ...
