DNA is made up of adenine-thymine (AT) bonds and guanine-cytosine (GC) bonds. The frequency of each type of bond differs substantially across bacterial species. A new study uses this quirk of ...

The results of this collaborative project overturn some conventional wisdom about how the DNA repair process works. DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

Dr. Isaac Li, along with students David Bakker and Micah Yang, prepare an experiment as they work to understand counter-intuitive biological interaction—like catch bonds—and how cells physically ...

Sixty years after the discovery of DNA's spiraling, ladderlike structure first hinted at the mechanism by which life copies itself, one of the Nobel Prize medals honoring this achievement is up for ...

A joint research saw light in Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry. An interaction of DNA with lipids is of great interest because of their functions. As fatty acids and lipids can specifically ...

DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in DNA provides information for building an organism. What’s not captured by this analogy is the fact that our DNA ...
