His solution was polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a molecular technique that rapidly duplicates short, specific segments of DNA, transforming one fragment into millions of identical copies.

DNA polymerase is responsible for the process of DNA replication, during which a double ... via polymerase chain reaction, also known as PCR.

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

PCR-machines are used for replication of DNA, detecting DNA sequences, carrying out DNA fingerprinting, forensic analysis, and molecular cloning, diagnosing genetic diseases, and detecting ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

During DNA replication, the double helix unwinds ... and neurotransmitter release, in response to extracellular signals. PCR is a widely used technique for amplifying DNA segments. It relies on the ...

Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl's 1957 demonstration of DNA replication is considered "the most beautiful experiment in biology." Their density-shift demonstrations not only have stood the test of ...

These drugs work by inhibiting the viral reverse transcriptase enzyme, preventing the replication of the viral genetic material. Pyrimidine analogs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and gemcitabine, are ...
