The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication is fundamental to life, yet the precise mechanics of how helicases unwind the genome for replication remain unclear. A recent study published in Nature used ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham reveals ...

A new artificial intelligence model can predict how different proteins may bind to DNA. A new artificial intelligence model developed by USC researchers and published in Nature Methods can predict how ...

The study presents a new mesoscopic (i.e., between microscopic and macroscopic) simulation model of DNA movement. This new model is essential to optimise research in the field of nucleic acids ...

Jennifer A. Surtees has long been dedicated to studying genome stability and boosting community involvement in research. With a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant, she’ll get to do both.

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. AlphaFold 3 uses the same method as AI image generators to predict how different molecules fit together.

As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the original ...

BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...
