A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand ...

While extracellular DNA persistence substantially influences soil microbiome investigations, its degradation kinetics remain poorly quantified. Here, we developed a primer-labeled DNA approach coupled ...

Dozens of new discoveries reveal that defenses evolved by bacteria and viruses billions of years ago still define our own ...

In biology you must have come across the two types of cells, the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These two are the most ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists as part of a DNA-protein complex known as chromatin. For this purpose, the ...

On February 28, 1953, two scientists, James Watson and Francis Crick, announced they had figured out the structure of DNA. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost ...

MIT researchers have found that tiny DNA loops persist even as cells divide, challenging the idea that the genome resets during mitosis. These structures may explain how cells retain genetic ...

“Multiscale Structural Mechanics: Top-Down Modeling of Composite Structures Using Mechanics of Structure Genome” delivers a unified approach to composites modeling based on the concept of structure ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment opportunity for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The discovery, ...
