In both physics and chemistry, the mesoscopic scale refers to the length scale on which the properties of a material or phenomenon can be studied, without entering into a discussion about the behavior ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

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 ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study ...

Accurate and mechanistically plausible mathematical models of DNA double-strand break (DSB) rejoining kinetics are needed to correctly estimate the dependence of cell death and transformation on ...

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 ...

On March 13, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is the virus responsible for the ...

Arc Institute, a research organization that operates in collaboration with UC Berkeley, has released an artificial intelligence model that can classify and generate strands of DNA. This technology has ...

32 P-label is introduced by incoming dGT 32 P molecule. The arrows indicate the sites of enzymatic hydrolysis. The bases of the template DNA strand are designated as clear boxes, and the bases in the ...

Exactly 66 years ago, on April 25, 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson published their famous article that showed that the shape of DNA is a double helix. They weren’t able to see DNA directly - it’s ...
