Researchers have revealed the fundamental mechanisms underlying homologous recombination – one of the main DNA repair pathways in human cells.

Scientists have identified sequences in great apes' DNA capable of forming unconventional structures called non-B DNA. These ...

Geneticist David Sinclair says aging is a disease and it is preventable and treatable. He told the Fiduciary Investors ...

This landmark study describes the structure of the human RAD51 filament with a recombination intermediate called the displacement loop (D-loop). Using cryogenic structural, biochemical, and ...

The boundaries of computing are shifting as biology fuses with technology. At the center of this new frontier is an emerging ...

DNA contains a pattern for producing amino acids, proteins, lipids, sugars, and every other biomolecule an organism makes. The parts of a DNA molecule that have these instructions are called genes.

It uses those patterns to predict how changes to DNA affect the function of its downstream products ... helped me fine-tune the Evo model on DNA that coded for a protein as well as at least one RNA ...

“Our research has unveiled the patterns of the principal axis directions of the ... the authors used molecular dynamics simulations to model the atomic coordinates of the DNA molecule over time. They ...

These patterns are termed DNA racks and are comprised of linear barriers to lipid diffusion, similar to our previous designs,(8, 9) along with arrays of metallic pentagons, which are coated with ...

Ancient DNA is often fragmented and heavily degraded, making it difficult for researchers to extract and to determine the exact sequence of base pairs in a DNA molecule, a process referred to as ...

and some gene variants affect an immune molecule known as interleukin-18, which plays a role in predisposition to autoimmune disorders. Some Neandertal DNA variants are implicated in increased ...

Studying how single DNA molecules behave helps us to better understand genetic disorders and design better drugs. Until now however, examining DNA molecules one-by-one was a slow process.
