Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a ...

Nucleotide excision repair is a DNA repair pathway which detects and fixes various DNA lesions that distort the structure of DNA. In bacteria, the pathway starts with the UvrA protein which has two ...

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...

In a world-first study, we have revealed and analysed remarkably preserved fragments of ancient DNA from the skin of a woolly mammoth. For the first time, we’ve been able to understand how the genetic ...

DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides—whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to help the ...

A joint research team has developed an automated design technology that enables the creation of DNA origami structures that exactly match user-drawn shapes using generative AI. The generative design ...

Researchers have mapped 50,000 of DNA's mysterious "knots" in the human genome. The innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, ...

MuB is a non-specific DNA-binding protein and AAA+ ATPase that significantly influences the DNA transposition process of bacteriophage Mu, especially in target DNA selection for transposition. While ...

James Watson, the scientist who became famous for helping discover the structure of DNA in 1953 and notorious decades later for suggesting that Black people are intellectually inferior to whites, has ...
