DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

DNA molecules are composed of four nucleotides, and these nucleotides are linked together much like the words in a sentence. Together, all of the DNA "sentences" within a cell contain the ...

It's also critical to understand that the specific sequence of A, T, C, and G nucleotides within an organism's DNA is unique to that individual, and it is this sequence that controls not only the ...

Aditxt subsidiary Pearsanta has acquired patents associated with adductomics-based DNA damage detection, to make significant ...

A breakthrough in safely delivering therapeutic DNA to cells using lipid nanoparticles could transform treatment for millions ...

When a cell divides, it makes a copy of its DNA instructions for the new cell. The twisted double strand structure -- the famed double helix -- unwinds and the strands separate. The nucleotides (A ...

Polymers are made of monomers, and in DNA, these monomers are called nucleotides or nucleobases. The enzymes that handle DNA molecules are often called "polymerases," but the -ase suffix denotes ...

Nucleotides are abundant in the cell's nucleus. Nucleotides are the units which, when linked sugar to phosphate, make up one side of a DNA ladder. During DNA replication, special enzymes move up ...

A breakthrough in safely delivering therapeutic DNA to cells could transform treatment for millions suffering from common chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level. The movie ...

Researchers from the Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science have developed an AI-based method that accelerates ...

DNA adducts are chemical modifications to DNA nucleotides that occur due to carcinogens and are among the earliest indicators of cancer risk. Pearsanta’s Mitomic Technology platform leverages ...
