An unusual DNA structure may hold the key to treating one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, which claims more than ...

Investigating chromatin's 3D architecture reveals its influence on gene regulation, shedding light on mechanisms underlying ...

While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how stretches of DNA form genes, this ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have revealed the structure of a key protein involved in ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven ...

And one of the things it can get stuck on is the DNA template itself, which can adopt alternative structures in certain contexts. For example, regions of the genome that are rich in guanine bases ...

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

The average helical twist estimated from the remainder of the nucleotides is equivalent to a helical repeat of 11.8 base pairs per turn, making E-DNA an underwound structure relative to both A-DNA ...

A piece that aired on NPR this week about the discovery of DNA's structure neglected to mention the significant contribution of Rosalind Franklin to that scientific milestone.

Researchers Valerii Plotnikov and Dan Fisher slice a sample from 52,000-year-old mammoth skin. The skin provided the first ever look at the 3-D structure of the extinct animal’s DNA.

DNA is the molecule that holds the instructions for all living things. DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure.
