Why it's false: While DNA replication is highly accurate, it's not perfect. DNA polymerase has a proofreading function, but ...

This diagram depicts the chemical structure of pyrimidine, a six-membered aromatic ring with two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 (highlighted in blue). The remaining positions are occupied by ...

As with most things, nature’s data storage system, DNA, far surpasses anything we’ve created. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have doubled its already incredible ...

Researchers have devised a nanoscale sensor to electronically read the sequence of a single DNA molecule, a technique that is fast and inexpensive and could make DNA sequencing widely available. The ...

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 ...

Two images were stored in and retrieved from DNA sequences, showcasing how the crucial genetic molecule can also can be used for data storage. Reading time 3 minutes Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the ...
