The world of science has been stuck in an existential crisis over whether we actually know the things we thought we knew. Re-running an old study today doesn't always yield the same result. Same with ...

There are plenty of unanswered questions about the origin of life on Earth. But the research community has largely reached consensus that one of the key steps was the emergence of an RNA molecule that ...

Scientific progress depends on results that can be repeated – yet across disciplines, too many experiments fail that test. From medicine to economics, the replication crisis reveals not just flawed ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

The Presidential Commission to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) released a report on children’s health last month, and it uses the word “crisis” no fewer than 40 times within 72 pages. One of these ...

Accurate genome duplication is essential for all living cells. In Escherichia coli and most other bacteria, a circular chromosome is replicated bidirectionally at high speed. Two replisomes, assembled ...
