Scientists at NUS have found that DNA’s phosphate groups can guide chemical reactions like molecular “hands.” Chemists at the (NUS) have discovered an unexpected way to use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ...

Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...

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, ...

The fundamental organization of the DNA in active and inactive compartments arises immediately after fertilization of the oocyte, even before genes are activated. The discovery will lead to a better ...

A group led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine has identified significant differences at the epigenetic level – the chemical tags in DNA that help regulate gene expression – between two ...

If you were to boil all of biology down to a simple equation, it would be that DNA makes RNA, which makes proteins, which are what make every living thing you can see, smell, touch, and taste (and a ...

Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a new use for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), not just as ...

Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...
