The precise times at which certain sections of our genetic code are replicated are called DNA replication timing or RT.
A recent research study led by Karin Schelch and Michael Grusch from MedUni Vienna identified the oncoprotein YB-1 as an attractive therapeutic target in PM and demonstrates that indirect targeting of YB-1 is a promising approach to enhance sensitivity to chemo- and radiotherapy.
Crystal structure of Streptococcus thermophilus Cas9 in complex with AGGA PAM. Source: RCSB PDB Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats or CRISPR is a new-generation gene editing system. This technique was adapted from the self-defensive mechanism of the bacteria. CRISPR is a repetitive DNA sequence that was observed in […]
Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA for short, is often referred to as the blueprint of life. It is the genetic material that makes up all living organisms, from single-celled bacteria to complex multicellular animals like humans. DNA contains the instructions that determine an organism’s traits, such as eye color, height, and […]

Replication is the process by which a cell duplicates its genetic material to pass on to its daughter cells during cell division. The replication process is different in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, which are two distinct types of cells. Read more about Introduction to Molecular Biology In prokaryotes, such […]
PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction is the process used in Molecular Biology for the amplification of genomic DNA samples when the sample count is veryless. It produces millions of samples. This technique was developed byKary Mullis. It is the application of Taq polymerase which is a heat-stable DNA […]
Molecular Biology is a branch of science that focuses on the study of molecules and their functions within living organisms. It combines the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology to understand the structure, function, and organization of genes as well as their interaction with other genes in a living […]
