Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

In the search for the chemical origins of life, researchers have found a possible alternative path for the emergence of the characteristic DNA pattern: According to the experiments, the characteristic ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

One of the first things any biology student learns is that DNA, the recipe for life, is written with four letters. But what if you could add extra ones? Researchers who have managed to build, and ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Base pairs are at the heart of molecular biology information. Recognized ever since their discovery by Watson and Crick in 1953, the base pair provides, among other things, rules for copying DNA, ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine learning model called AlphaGenome that can predict the function of DNA ...

A new study published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology reveals how the fundamental enzyme called DNA polymerase delta operates during DNA replication, making a copy of the genetic code that ...
