DNA replication is the biological process by which an exact copy of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule is created and it is the basis for biological inheritance. Each of the two strands of the ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.

Learning about your genetics and ancestry is easier than ever. All you need to do is choose from the many DNA ancestry tests available online, receive your kit and send back the required DNA samples.
