Beyond the ladder-like structure described above, another key characteristic of double-stranded DNA is its unique three-dimensional shape. The first photographic evidence of this shape was ...

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Dr. Alba Rey-Iglesia and her colleagues conducted a biomolecular analysis of the mammoth bone remains at Kostenki 11-Ia, ...

Earlier that morning, in the nearby Cavendish laboratory, the two scientists had discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. This discovery changed the world of science and medicine ...

New AI model takes minutes rather than days to predict how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

DNA nanotechnology is a field of nanotechnology that uses DNA molecules as building blocks to create structures and devices on the nanoscale, including the emerging field of DNA computing. DNA ...

A recent study by researchers from Peking University demonstrates the potential of nuclear electric resonance to control the nuclear spins of nitrogen atoms in DNA using electric field gradients, ...

A study published today (January 18) in Cell Reports Physical Science details how researchers used DNA origami to engineer strands of genetic material into Lego-like structures that form a cage around ...
