Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

An international research team has provided a detailed insight into how the spatial organization of genetic material is established in the cell nucleus of early embryos within the first hours after ...

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic ...

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 ...

Double ring structure protects DNA Spies and Pichierri had previously discovered that RAD52 is important in protecting stalled DNA replication forks. Their work suggested that this new function of ...

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 ...

The Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (IBGE) at Gazipur Agricultural University (GAU) celebrated World DNA ...
