New structural variation sequencing reads long stretches of fetal DNA to pinpoint duplications, flips, and rearrangements, ...
For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...
Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...
Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a comprehensive software suite to create accurate models of DNA in biomolecular ...
In a recent study, researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of a key ...
Researchers created a proof-of-concept DNA origami device that encodes messages as nano-Morse patterns and conceals them ...
A screenshot of a Google Doodle, which is drawn in light and dark purple and shows a cartoonish DNA double helix, the structure of guanine and a phosphate group, and small cartoons of a chromosome and ...
In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's ...
