DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the fundamental blueprint of life, containing genetic instructions for traits and ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

Researchers reveal how DNA gyrase resolves DNA entanglements. The findings not only provide novel insights into this fundamental biological mechanism but also have potential practical applications.

By shuttling silver and mercury between binding sites in DNA, scientists make the molecule switch conductance levels like a ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

Researchers at Spain’s CNIO have mapped 20,000 distinct DNA repair “scars,” building the first human REPAIRome. This atlas reveals how each human gene shapes DNA repair after double-strand breaks.

Xavier Cortada desperately needs your DNA — for his show, that is. With the public’s help, he plans to create a live DNA strand in a petri dish. “I am working with 400 museum visitors who will leave ...
