Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...
In a recent letter published in Nature Aging, researchers assessed the impact of caloric restriction (CR) on biological aging among the comprehensive assessment of the long-term effects of reducing ...
The DNA molecule inside the nucleus of any human cell is more than six feet long. To fit into such a small space, it must fold into precise loops that also govern how genes are turned on or off. New ...
