Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data -- that uses DNA rather ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

When scientists sequenced the first Neanderthal genomes, they did not just resurrect a lost branch of the human family tree, ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...
