The human transcription factor, RFX1, is found to belong to the winged-helix family of DNA binding proteins, despite an absence of significant sequence similarity. Even more surprising is the very ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

SAN CARLOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helix, a personal genomics company, today launched the first online marketplace for DNA-powered products that offer insights on ancestry, entertainment, family, ...

Franklin’s experience was far from unusual. Scientific discovery is shaped by patriarchy and colonialism as the story of ...

Figure 1: Schematic representation of the transition of a, the double helix into b, the two possible isomers of H-DNA. Figure 2: a, b, Sequential NOE interactions in the triplex loop and the 3′ tail ...

Researchers have identified a new way to measure DNA torsional stiffness -- how much resistance the helix offers when twisted -- information that can potentially shed light on how cells work. Cornell ...

A team of researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) have managed for the first time to extract trustworthy structural ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was 97. The ...

Additions to DNA’s four-letter alphabet have been announced before, but the new letters don’t always fit comfortably into DNA’s double helix. Even slightly awkward letters can distort DNA’s overall ...

CLAIM: COVID-19 mRNA vaccines alter recipients' DNA by changing its shape to a "triple helix." THE FACTS: There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines are editing humans' DNA, experts have told the ...

Nanowires are vital components for future nanoelectronics, sensors, and nanomedicine. To achieve the required complexity, it is necessary to control the position and growth of the metal chains on an ...
