DNA polymerases carry out crucial functions in many DNA metabolic processes. Polymerases catalyse the addition, using a template, of complementary nucleotides to the 3′ end of DNA primer strands.

Learning about your genetics and ancestry is easier than ever. All you need to do is choose from the many DNA ancestry tests available online, receive your kit and send back the required DNA samples.

Othram Labs uses a process they call Forensic Grade Genome Sequencing. The process works to connect family members’ DNA to ...

Polar bears are exceptionally strong swimmers. They can swim for days at a time and speeds of up to 10 kilometers per hour. Polar bear DNA can be extracted from footprints in the snow, even containing ...

"It really proves that life... uh... finds a way," said Shreveport Aquarium, Louisina's curator of live animals, Greg Barrick ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

A collaboration led by researchers at Osaka University has developed a nanogate that can be open or shut by applying ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...
