Researchers have identified HELQ as a key regulator of DNA replication stress responses, explaining why cells lacking the ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

DNA isn’t just for labs — you can explore it right at home or in the classroom with simple, hands-on experiments. From extracting strawberry DNA with dish soap to modeling the double helix with beads, ...

DNA is more than just a code—it’s a beautifully precise molecular structure that holds life’s instructions. Understanding its building blocks, base pairing rules, and replication fidelity helps us ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

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 ...

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 ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a ...

Revising the structure and replication of DNA? Test your knowledge of the process and need for DNA replication with this Higher Biology quiz.

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died, according to ...
