In May 1952, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling captured Photo 51, a crucial X-ray diffraction image revealing DNA's ...

Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...

A new study published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science offers a nuanced look at how genetic risk for ...

An Ice Age double burial in Italy has yielded a stunning genetic revelation. DNA from a mother and daughter who lived over 12,000 years ago shows that the younger had a rare inherited growth disorder, ...

As the Nancy Guthrie abduction case stretches into a third week, investigators — and a public riveted by every mysterious ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

A European project calls for help to verify whether carbon quantum dots are really able to sense chemicals in cells.

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif ...

Here's what we know about the South Florida DNA lab chosen over Quantico to analyze evidence in the Nancy Guthrie abduction.
