Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

Scientists have found that twisting structures in DNA long mistaken for knots are actually something else entirely. Inside cells, DNA gets twisted, copied, and pulled apart. The twists can influence ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade ...

DNA Full Form: The full name of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This molecule holds the complete genetic code of living organisms. The name “Deoxyribonucleic Acid” reflects its part: “Deoxy” points to ...

Researchers from UNIGE and Marburg show that D-cysteine, the "mirror" form of cysteine, selectively targets certain cancer ...

In 1812, hundreds of thousands of men in Napoleon's army perished during their retreat from Russia. Researchers now believe a ...
