The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Scientists have recovered a sample of DNA from a Leonardo da Vinci drawing that could belong to the Renaissance polymath. In April 2024, researchers working with the Leonardo da Vinci DNA Project ...

The results of this collaborative project overturn some conventional wisdom about how the DNA repair process works. DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

For centuries, the body of Leonardo da Vinci has been as elusive as his smile, his remains scattered and his grave uncertain, ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with international institutions, has uncovered a key mechanism in how DNA behaves as it passes through nanoscale pores—a ...

An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...
