How Extreme Microbes Are Helping Us Test for COVID-19
Microbes that live in extreme environments, like geysers and hydrothermal vents, are able to survive in extreme temperatures. Scientists have figured out ways to use this thermostability to supercharge DNA studies, including the study of...

DNA Replication
Paul Andersen explains how DNA replication ensures that each cell formed during the cell cycle has an exact copy of the DNA. He describes the Meselson-Stahl experiment and how it showed that DNA copies itself through a semi-conservative...

Mismatch Repair of DNA
Mismatch repair (MMR) is a DNA repair mechanism that corrects base-pairing errors and small insertions or deletions that escape proofreading during DNA replication. A protein complex identifies the mismatch, excises a section of the...

DNA Repair by Proofreading
DNA polymerases are the enzymes that build DNA in cells. During DNA replication (copying), most DNA polymerases can “check their work” with each base that they add. This process is called proofreading. If the polymerase detects that a...

Pyrosequencing
Pyrosequencing is a DNA sequencing-by-synthesis method that detects light emitted during nucleotide incorporation, offering a faster and more cost-effective alternative to the traditional Sanger method. It uses a cascade of enzymatic...

Types of Mutagens: Phycial, Chemical & Biological
Mutagenesis is the process of inducing mutations using physical, chemical, or biological mutagens, though mutations can also occur spontaneously during DNA replication. Physical mutagens include ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays)...

Excision Repair of DNA: Nucleotide Excision Repair and Base Excision Repair
DNA repair mechanisms like base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) fix damage by removing and replacing affected regions. BER removes a single damaged base using glycosylases (e.g., to fix deaminated cytosine),...
