Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

Earlier that morning, in the nearby Cavendish laboratory, the two scientists had discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. This discovery changed the world of science and medicine ...

DNA nanotechnology is a field of nanotechnology that uses DNA molecules as building blocks to create structures and devices on the nanoscale, including the emerging field of DNA computing. DNA ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

A generative AI-based technique can predict thousands of 3D genomic structures in just minutes, enabling researchers to more ...

Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen nuclear spins. Their findings suggest that DNA could be used as both a storage ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.
