Immortal DNA strand hypothesis — The immortal DNA strand hypothesis was proposed in 1975 by John Cairns as a mechanism for adult stem cells to minimize mutations in their genomes.Cairns, J. 1975. Mutation selection and the natural history of cancer. Nature (London) 255: 197… … Wikipedia
DNA replication — DNA replication. The double helix is unwound and each strand acts as a template for the next strand. Bases are matched to synthesize the new partner strands. DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies… … Wikipedia
DNA mismatch repair — is a system for recognizing and repairing erroneous insertion, deletion and mis incorporation of bases that can arise during DNA replication and recombination, as well as repairing some forms of DNA damage.[1][2] Mismatch repair is strand… … Wikipedia
DNA computing — is a form of computing which uses DNA, biochemistry and molecular biology, instead of the traditional silicon based computer technologies. DNA computing, or, more generally, biomolecular computing, is a fast developing interdisciplinary area.… … Wikipedia
DNA footprinting — is a method of investigating the sequence specificity of DNA binding proteins in vitro. This technique can be used to study protein DNA interactions both outside and within cells. The regulation of transcription has been studied extensively, and… … Wikipedia
DNA sequencer — DNA sequencers A DNA sequencer is a scientific instrument used to automate the DNA sequencing process. It can be also considered an optical instrument as it generally analyses light signals originating from fluorochromes attached to nucleotides.… … Wikipedia
DNA electrophoresis — is an analytical technique used to separate DNA fragments by size. An electric field forces the fragments to migrate through a gel. DNA molecules normally migrate from negative to positive potential due to the net negative charge of the phosphate … Wikipedia
DNA — For a non technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to genetics. For other uses, see DNA (disambiguation). The structure of the DNA double helix. The atoms in the structure are colour coded by element and the detailed structure of two … Wikipedia
DNA repair — For the journal, see DNA Repair (journal). DNA damage resulting in multiple broken chromosomes DNA repair refers to a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encode its genome. In human… … Wikipedia
