Honoring Rosalind Franklin: the overlooked pioneer whose vital contributions to DNA research reshaped science and women's legacy.

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

How does DNA structure itself from the very first moments of life? A team of researchers has just observed that DNA adopts a defined three-dimensional architecture much more rapidly than ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

A gel held together entirely by interlocking DNA rings exhibits mechanical properties unlike any conventional gel, driven purely by topology.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome ...

Purdue University researcher Emily Dykhuizen explores how cancer takes advantage of the machinery that surrounds DNA to evade the immune system, resist conventional therapies, and spread through ...
