An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

The general chemical structure of the DNA helix was described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. Over the years that followed, scientists intensely studied the molecular structure of DNA to ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

A new and detailed look at the role of MutS in DNA's mismatch repair (MMR) system has been provided by a team of researchers with the U.S Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Long before modern medicine named and cataloged human herpesviruses, at least one of them was already quietly embedding ...

Researchers introduce a novel, detailed immune-profiling method that measures modifications to DNA without requiring fresh samples or intact cells. The technology uses minimal sample input, works with ...

The UK-based company Living DNA is a relative newcomer in the DNA-testing market, but it’s already making a name for itself. It boasts that its DNA testing kits ($59, originally $99; livingdna.com) ...

Molecular self-assembly with DNA is an attractive route for building nanoscale devices. The development of sophisticated and precise objects with this technique requires detailed experimental feedback ...

In a technique known as DNA origami, researchers fold long strands of DNA over and over again to construct a variety of tiny 3D structures, including miniature biosensors and drug-delivery containers.

Clayton -- Testimony in Gerald Carnahan's first-degree murder trial moved into the 21st century on Friday as witnesses were questioned about attempts to develop DNA evidence in 2003 and 2007. DNA ...
