What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...
Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...
In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...
Whether it is a microbe, a rose, or a dolphin, any form of life gets its building and operating instructions from the molecule of life, DNA. DNA comprises the genes and chromosomes that govern the ...
Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
University of Hull provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK. DNA (which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid) contains all the information needed to make your body work. It is also surprisingly ...
If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about 0.01 mm in size, it must be tightly folded. DNA wraps around proteins call ...
