A group led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine has identified significant differences at the epigenetic level – the chemical tags in DNA that help regulate gene expression – between two ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

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 ...

DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in viruses, ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

The world’s most famous molecule – the DNA double helix – sometimes doubles up again. Researchers have now found this quadruple-stranded form in healthy human cells for the first time. Four-stranded ...

If you were to boil all of biology down to a simple equation, it would be that DNA makes RNA, which makes proteins, which are what make every living thing you can see, smell, touch, and taste (and a ...

Using DNA, the blueprint of life, U.S. researchers said they have made a three-dimensional structure from particles of gold in a development that could lead to a host of custom-designed materials. The ...
