A new study in Nature Plants reveals that DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathways help prevent gene transfer from ...

A controversy among research policy scholars asks whether scientific progress is slowing down or just evolving ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred to as non-B DNA—have been implicated as regulators of cellular ...

Hence, we anticipated that the kinetics of • OH-induced DFN damage had a geometric-dependent manner ... (39,40) During the formation of DFNs, the DNA double helix folded or bent with a higher ...

More than seven decades later, mathematician Robert Monjo believes he has discovered a similarly significant double helix — but this time not as the structure of human DNA, but as the structure ...

An international team of scientists, composed of researchers from the Complutense University of Madrid, Saint Louis University’s Madrid campus, and the University of California, has proposed a new ...

This organization can be explained by weak interactions between nucleosomes, which are the repetitive blocks that fold the DNA double helix ... it justifies the geometry of chromosome bands ...

In a molecule of DNA, nucleotides form base pairs with a unique molecular geometry called Watson and Crick geometry, named for the scientists who discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953.

The discovery of DNA's double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit. Much of the controversy ...

Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published. Watson, Crick and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1962 for ...

The first 3D shapes were simple cubes, pyramids, soccer balls -- geometric shapes with coarse and blocky ... It works by coiling a long DNA double helix into concentric rings that stack on each other ...
