Researchers at the University of Bristol have caught DNA-copying enzymes generating long stretches of genetic code without any template to guide them, a behavior the team calls “doodling.” Published ...

Researchers at Cima Universidad de Navarra have discovered that a ribonucleic acid that does not contain information to make proteins (long non-coding RNA) plays a crucial role in signalling and ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...

Researchers studied an error mechanism in DNA replication, and noticed that some errors create palindromes that can fold into hairpin structures. The complexity of ...

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.
