Newly developed DNA nanostructures can form flexible, fluid, and stimuli-responsive condensates without relying on chemical ...

The story of this potentially paradigmatic development begins where so much of human health begins: the mitochondria.

In 1963, Popular Science reported on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and Rosalind Franklin⁠—the woman who was left out of the accolades.

According to David Liu, a chemical biologist at Harvard University, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, understanding DNA’s structure “raised the ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic micrometers-about a millionth of a milliliter.

Threads or ropes can easily be used for braiding, knotting, and weaving. In chemistry, however, processing molecular strands ...

DNA replication is a fundamental biological process that enables the accurate duplication of an organism’s genetic material.

Newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) programs accurately predicted the role of DNA's regulatory elements and three-dimensional (3D) structure based solely on its raw sequence, according to ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...
