Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein, the ...

DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes.

The developed probe exclusively reacts with mitochondrial DNA repair intermediates and modulates the DNA repair and degradation processes, reducing mitochondrial DNA loss. When environmental stress ...

DNA has tremendous potential as a data storage medium, but the process of synthesizing DNA from scratch is time-consuming. It has to be done one nucleotide at a time in a specific sequence. New ...

DNA is often seen as the blueprint of life—carrying the code to govern the development and traits of an organism—but “there are things beyond the DNA sequence,” says Xiaoqi Feng, a plant geneticist at ...

Researchers discover that separate pronuclei in fertilized eggs create a competitive environment essential for maintaining ...

A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...

With a few chemical tweaks and some dutiful protein partners, a new biotech from Flagship Pioneering thinks it has cracked ...

Most gene-editing tools cut DNA wherever they’re pointed, with no way to tell a tumor cell from a healthy one. A study ...
