Remains found at Jamestown. The remains contained DNA that indicated the bone was from an indigenous dog. In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type ...

The research group led by Professor Hitoshi Kurumizaka, Laboratory of Chromatin Structure and Function, Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, The University of Tokyo, has revealed how the DNA repair ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA’s shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.
