Scientists show DNA polymerases can build long, patterned DNA without a template, opening new paths for synthetic biology and ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without ...

Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a retrotransposon has been found borrowing the cell’s own machinery to achieve its goals. In a new work appearing online Wednesday in ...
