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 ...

When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the strand. A new study by MIT researchers, appearing in Science, shows that ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

New molecule halts mitochondrial DNA loss before it triggers inflammation. When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration and ...

DNA stores our genetic code. What if it could also be integrated with electronics to store and read other information?

In everyday life, our genetic material is constantly under attack from many factors. Environmental influences such as light, ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

A screenshot of a Google Doodle, which is drawn in light and dark purple and shows a cartoonish DNA double helix, the structure of guanine and a phosphate group, and small cartoons of a chromosome and ...

Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...

Studies have shown that certain DNA variants have been linked to specific health conditions. But whether they can act as a ...
