April 25 has been a date marked by pivotal moments in world history, shaping nations and influencing global events across ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The RNA cloud formed around genes regulates their readout into RNA. Triplexes help define where in the genome a cloud forms. Proteins and other flipons modulate the levels of gene expression. The ...

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

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 ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...
