Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

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 ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

In Wikipedia, there are 21 scientists listed who made significant contributions to determining the structure of DNA. In recent decades the focus has been on the contributions of only 3 of those ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

Researchers have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic ...
