Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

An unusual DNA structure may hold the key to treating one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, which claims more than ...

Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could ...

Despite her contribution to the discovery of DNA's helical structure, Rosalind Franklin was not named a prize winner: She had died of cancer four years earlier, at the age of 37.

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual element combining to become, for 40 years, the world's tallest building.

A recent DNA analysis of skeletal remains found in a well at Sverresborg Castle in Trondheim, Norway, is lending new insights into a medieval story described in the Sverris Saga. This 12th-century ...

Scientists have created a glass that uses DNA as its skeleton that far outclasses steel in strength and weight — at the nano-scale, at least.

After more than three decades, DNA researchers and authorities have identified a skeleton found in the chimney of a Madison, Wisconsin music store.

The discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953 is one of the most revolutionary scientific discoveries to date. However, the research leading to the discovery of ...

A well-studied DNA methylation-based phenomenon is genomic imprinting (ie, genotype-independent parent-of-origin effects). Objective We aimed to elucidate: (1) the effect of exercise on DNA ...

There are two general classes of DNA repair; the direct reversal of the chemical process generating the damage and the replacement of damaged nucleotides.

Senior author Dr Jonathan Burns (UCL Chemistry) said: “DNA is used by nature to store genetic information but it can also be used as a building material to construct nanostructures. We reprogrammed ...
