DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

DNA Day is approaching on April 25th. To celebrate, we are highlighting this conversation that took place during The State of Genomics & NGS Summit this past February. In it, GEN’s John Sterling and ...

DNA folding is more important for cell function than previously thought, finding that even the most subtle changes in DNA’s ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...

Recent groundbreaking research into ape genomes has uncovered mysterious non-human DNA structures that challenge our ...

In particular, the scientists studied how a DNA double helix unzips when translocated at high velocity through a nanopore, reconstructing fundamental DNA thermodynamic properties from the sole speed ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

Picture in your mind a traditional “landline” telephone with a coiled cord connecting the handset to the phone. The coiled telephone cord and the DNA double helix that stores the genetic material in ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

STOCKBRIDGE — In 1962, James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for solving the structure of DNA. In his acceptance speech on behalf of ...
