Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells, revealing the physical structures that control ...
A spinout from the University of Oxford is using a newly invented method to depict and analyze DNA with super-fine resolution, allowing them to peer into what they describe as “the dark matter of the ...
In Wikipedia, there are 21 scientists listed who made significant contributions to determining the structure of DNA. In recent decades the focus has been on the contributions of only 3 of those ...
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Shape-shifters aren't just the stuff of fiction, they're real--and they're inside our DNA. In the Feb. 1 issue of the journal Nature, researchers describe how two normally mismatched ...
DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in viruses, ...
Scientists have sequenced a South American lungfish genome, revealing 91 billion DNA base pairs. This is 30 times more DNA than humans, setting a new record. The discovery ranks as the largest animal ...
