Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a new use for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), not just as ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink, ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...

A research team from the University of California (UC), Irvine, has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. The ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...
