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.

The high accuracy or fidelity of semi-conservative DNA replication is the product of nucleotide template interaction, polymerase-enhanced base selectivity, exonuclease proofreading and the post ...

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 ...

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the large protein and phosphoprotein). Not only that, but they also ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

Here we introduce a process called Improved Single-cell Genome Amplification (iSGA), in which the whole single-cell sequencing cycle is completed in a high-efficient and high-coverage manner, through ...

DNA polymerase plays a critical role in passing the genetic information of any living organism to its offspring. DNA polymerase from enterobacteria phage RB69 (RB69pol) has both polymerization and ...
