DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the fundamental blueprint of life, containing genetic instructions for traits and ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

New research reveals that child maltreatment leaves measurable biological “scars” on DNA, altering brain structure and function.

"The importance of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) within living cells is undisputed" (Watson & Crick, 1953). This opening sentence of James Watson and Francis Crick's second major paper, published ...

Newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) programs accurately predicted the role of DNA's regulatory elements and three-dimensional (3D) structure based solely on its raw sequence, according to ...

The results of this collaborative project overturn some conventional wisdom about how the DNA repair process works. DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts ...

Kenneth J. Breslauer, whose work helped lay the foundation for many of today’s major advances in genetics and precision ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...

A new study of the bizarre naked mole rat shows that the animals have evolved a DNA repair mechanism that could explain their ...

Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have published an analysis that reveals new functions of the ...
