Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may ...

In diagrams and illustrations of cells, DNA is sometimes shown as a mass in the cell's nucleus, like a bowl of ramen noodles. For many years, it's been standard practice to take images of cells that ...

A new genome mapping method is helping Cornell scientists unlock the secrets of transposons—long dismissed as “junk DNA”—according to the Cornell Chronicle. Using a technique called CUT&Tag, ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the ...

HSE scientists have proposed a way to improve the accuracy of finding Z-DNA, or DNA regions that are twisted to the left instead of to the right. To do this, they used neural networks and a dataset of ...

An international team has uncovered details about the formation of DNA's building blocks, paving the way for potential medical and therapeutic applications. Despite its fundamental role in biology, ...

The protein, reverse transcriptase, has become an essential tool for making DNA copies of RNA.

The formation of DNA adducts due to flavouring substances, particularly those derived from botanicals, has emerged as a critical area of toxicological research. Many naturally occurring compounds ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Clustered DNA damage is related to the biological effects of ionizing radiation. However, its precise yield and complexity (i.e., number of ...
