Deep in coastal mangroves and even inside our own mouths, biologists are finding that DNA does not always sit in a simple ...

Primases are essential components of the DNA replication apparatus in every organism. They catalyze the synthesis of oligoribonucleotides on single-stranded DNA, which subsequently serve as primers ...

The replisome is a large protein complex that carries out DNA replication, starting at the replication origin. It contains several enzymatic activities, such as helicase, primase and DNA polymerase ...

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like this one complicate matters.

Bacteria use a short RNA guide to detect viruses and activate a self-destruct mechanism that protects the wider microbial ...

Biologists mapping the human body have long assumed that every major kind of microscopic life inside us already had a place ...

Analysis of hundreds of single-cell genomes from Yellowstone National Park shows bacterial species are less cohesive than previously thought.

Scientists have discovered a single-celled organism in the hot springs of Lassen Volcanic National Park, which is not only ...
