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.

A new study into the genetic basis of a CNS disorder has revealed that, in fact, some disease-causing changes in genomic structure might arise from errors that happen during DNA replication ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
