The structure of a cell’s nucleus has long served as a visible clue to whether a cell is healthy or affected by disease.

These can be placed at intervals in-between the natural letters, but the structure of DNA breaks down if they are placed in a row. Finally, the team showed that the synthetic DNA could be ...

they found that the synthetic base pairs from AEGIS form a geometric structure that resembles the Watson and Crick geometry of natural base pairs. The result: the enzymes that transcribe DNA can't ...

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...

Natural DNA is often double-stranded ... shapes to dense 3D constructs and everything in-between, including a structure resembling a potted flower. Gothelf and co-workers have named their method ...

The original model of DNA structure created by Crick and Watson ... tortoise before developing his theory of evolution through natural selection Genetic information is passed down from generation ...

This mechanism allows for natural DNA unwinding, comparable to releasing ... acts as the universal "energy currency" of cells. Its chemical structure contains high-energy phosphate bonds that ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Evolution is a gradual change to the DNA of a species over many generations. It can occur by natural selection, when certain traits created by genetic mutations help an organism survive or reproduce.

Illustration of Daphnia. New research has found that the DNA of these crustaceans has an interesting twist of natural selection. Illustration of Daphnia. New research has found that the DNA of ...

Her colleague Maurice Wilkins was independently pursuing DNA’s structure, and she had grown so miserable there, largely because of their rivalry, that she had found a position at another university.
