The superfamily 1 (SF1) and SF2 enzymes are non-hexameric enzymes possessing both helicase and single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) translocase activities, as well as the ability to displace proteins from DNA.

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

One experiment showed that the plasmid DNA can transform into Escherichia coli, or E. coli, cells, which are bacteria commonly found in human and animal intestines, according to the CDC.

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...
