A large-scale study links the presence of these tiny molecules to increased aggressiveness in malignant tumors ...

Scientists have discovered a way to target elusive circular fragments of DNA that drive the survival of some of the most aggressive cancers, paving the way for future treatments.

Can small circles of DNA, once dismissed as irrelevant, actually be major contributors to cancer development? Three new research studies ... | Genetics And Genomics ...

Those featured circles, ecDNAs, are small and often contain a few genes on their circular DNA. Frequently, these genes are cancer-associated genes called oncogenes. When a cancer cell contains ...

A team of researchers led by Duke University, the University of California San Francisco, and the Beckman Research Institute ...

A trio of research papers from Stanford Medicine researchers and their international collaborators transforms scientists' understanding of how small DNA circles—until recently dismissed as ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium ...

Bacteria in our intestines engage in genetic exchanges, called bacterial conjugation, and sometimes this gene swapping ...

Did you know that you have a second genome? Small cellular organelles called mitochondria contain their own circular DNA. What happens to your cells when this DNA mutates? Similar to the nuclear ...

During circular DNA replication, the excised primer is readily replaced by nucleotides, leaving no gap in the newly synthesized DNA. In contrast, in linear DNA replication, there is always a small ...

Hepatitis B affects hundreds of millions of patients around the world. A Durham gene editing company wants to develop a cure.

In this video, discover a cool idea to turn your circular saw into a plunge saw! We’ll guide you through each step of the process, starting with the materials you'll need. First, we show you how to ...
