In addition, DNA's unique base-pairing mechanism also makes it highly programmable, offering precise control over its ...

Chemists have developed a way to make diverse chiral DNA catalysts by merging DNA repair with biorthogonal chemistry, paving ...

Scientists at TU Delft and the Max Planck Institute have made a new class of structurally adaptable 'mechanical' pores made ...

And why do they talk about it so much on CSI? DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base ...

Have you ever wondered whether you’d be able to own a genetically-engineered pet, maybe one in wild colors that are not found ...

Previously we presented a model in which the DNA is maximally-loaded with Sac7d proteins 8. Additional modeling studies showed that if the number of base pairs per protein monomer is increased ...

The central part of each nucleosome (core particle) is a cylindrical structure (5.7 nanometers in height and 11 in diameter) ...

By studying the genomes of more than 3,000 people across Japan, researchers have shed light on the population’s complex ...

The central part of each nucleosome (core particle) is a cylindrical structure (5.7 nanometers height and 11 in diameter) formed by approximately two turns of DNA (147 base pairs) wrapped around ...

The 2024 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine goes to two researchers, Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, for their work on ...

Scientists have mapped the genome of the Greenland shark, which could offer clues to the animal’s extreme longevity. By Jonathan Moens The Greenland shark is not exactly charismatic. Its hulking ...
