We have long struggled to determine how the first living organisms on Earth came together. Now, surprising evidence hints that poorly understood prions may have been the vital missing ingredient ...

There’s more to dna than just the double helix we know and love: under some conditions this familiar molecule can take on ...

This study presents a valuable tool named TSvelo, a computational framework for RNA velocity inference that models transcriptional regulation and gene-specific splicing. The evidence supporting the ...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) exhibits a degree of resistance to mutagenesis under genotoxic stress, and this study on the mitochondrial Transcription Factor A (TFAM) presents valuable data concerning the ...

Scientists were able to build the DNA profile from a blood-stained cloth that a US Army colonel had cut from the sofa where Hitler took his own life in 1945 (Central Press/Hulton Archive/Getty Images) ...

Watson’s role in decoding DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, would have been enough to establish him as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century.

We present advances in the use of single-molecule FRET measurements with flexibly linked dyes to derive full 3D structures of DNA constructs based on absolute distances. The resolution obtained by ...

C-G base pairs in the DNA structure require more energy to break these bonds. Therefore, a higher abundance of C-G base pairs in the DNA structure increases the melting temperature. Divalent Cations ...

For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...

His discovery paved the way for breakthroughs in molecular biology NOBEL Prize-winning American scientist James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA’s twisted-ladder structure, has died aged 97. The renowned ...
