In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven ...

Nonspecific major groove DNA-binding domains from both monomers embrace the DNA in a clamp-like structure. The interleaved nucleotide-binding sites are located far from the DNA.

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual ...

Explore the 5 key differences between DNA and RNA, including function, structure and location, with examples and insights from modern molecular biology.

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. DNA is the foundation of organisms, but what does it stand for? Get to know more about this nucleic acid.

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 ...

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a single speck of dust. Despite its density, DNA is not a tangled ball of yarn.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...
