Single-protein imaging shows that the Pol IV DNA repair protein (red) moves along the DNA strand (green) with the complex that copies DNA (replisome). Credit: Tuan Pham, UC Davis “To use the analogy ...

When we think about the blueprint of life, we tend to focus on DNA—the genetic code stored in every cell of our bodies. But ...

After one DNA molecule was trapped on the surface treated by APTES, the DNA molecule was stretched by pressure flow and immobilized. Credit: AIP Advances (2025). DOI: 10.1063/5.0223375 ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

An illustration showing the approach for assembling biologically functional proteins into ordered 2D and 3D arrays through programmable octahedral-shaped DNA frameworks. These frameworks can host ...

Whereas human cellular DNA contains over 20,000 genes, HBV’s DNA genome only contains four. None of the viral proteins made from these genes is required for the conversion of rcDNA to cccDNA.

The recoded bacterium uses only 57 of the 64 possible genetic codes, freeing up seven to be used for different purposes ...

Importantly, the DNA assembly of the antennas is easy to do and highly programmable to target a range of proteins, and the signals can be viewed through run-of-the-mill fluorescence spectroscopy.

In humans the genome has more than 21,000 DNA sequences which describe proteins, and human cells have the ability to edit the RNA made from some of those sequences to produce a number of different ...
