Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), made from many copies of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), is the core component that powers ...

The 64-year-old stopped antiretroviral medication 24 months after a transplant for bone marrow cancer, after his brother was ...

Clues to the genetic code’s origin may be hidden in tiny protein fragments, revealing a synchronized and highly structured ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" ...

DNA inside the nucleus is not packed as a rigid regular fiber—linker histone H1 dynamically binds and loosely "glues" nucleosomes together, creating a ...

A new analysis of ancient mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from Neanderthal fossils suggests researchers may need to revisit when ...

Researchers discovered a kinase-driven phosphorylation switch that activates DNA packaging machinery, aligning nucleosomes at ...

Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

Paras Gaur, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iowa, investigates DNA damage repair and G-quadruplex structures ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don’t undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

For a discipline so wedded to reason and fact as science is, it has fiendishly guarded its gender bias. Over centuries, pioneering women in science have been ignored, their achievements overlooked or ...

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 ...
