April 23 (UPI) --Scientists have for the first time created a billion-atom biomolecular simulation. Researchers designed the computer model to simulate a single DNA gene. The feat, described this ...

As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the original ...

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and ...

DNA, the biomolecule that provides the blueprint for life, has a lesser-known identity as a stretchy polymer. Scientists have found a flaw in the most common model for DNA elasticity, a discovery that ...

The study presents a new mesoscopic (i.e., between microscopic and macroscopic) simulation model of DNA movement. This new model is essential to optimise research in the field of nucleic acids ...

This is a stunning 3D map that shows how six feet of of DNA can be crammed inside a single chromosome — a space that’s only a hundredth of a millimeter across. Not surprisingly, it looks like ...

Correcting misinformation after it has gone viral is a common way of informing the public that what they’ve encountered may ...
