Medically reviewed by Anju Goel, MD Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the material in cells that carries all genetic information in humans, animals, plants, and all living cells. It’s passed down from ...

DNA holds the instructions that make us who we are. If we want to read those instructions, say, to understand our ...

DNA holds the instructions that make us who we are. If we want to read those instructions, say to understand our predisposition to genetic disorders, we need to carefully 'unzip' DNA's iconic ...

Scientists have reached a new milestone in decoding the human genome, unlocking complex regions once believed to be too ...

Rosalind Franklin was known for her intellectual rigour, keen sense of justice, and strong personality. She was a private ...

A new study shows that over 99% of the human genome can be accurately assembled by focusing on 65 diverse humans.

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

This makes it far easier to perform this type of assembly in real life, because you’d need to generate a much smaller set of ...

A predictive biophysical model that integrates protein-DNA structures and sequences to accurately determine genomic binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins.

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are ring-shaped molecular motors essential for genome folding. Despite recent progress, the detailed molecu ...

DNA nanotechnology has recently provided a novel approach for developing safe, biocompatible, biodegradable, non-immunogenic, and non-toxic drug delivery systems. DNA nanostructures have numerous ...

First base has become the most perplexing position of the season for the Boston Red Sox. Triston Casas' early struggles and season-ending injury. Rafael Devers refusing to play the position and ...
