A team that includes Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists has unlocked some of the secrets of corn DNA, revealing how ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven ...

Research is very much part of Barbara Malheiros' DNA. As part of her PhD research, she placed DNA on the surface of tiny ...

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

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

New results from the Stoddard lab examine the structure and function of an exotic bacterial phage-defense enzyme called BsaXI.

However, this would be impossible with DNA in spaghetti form. That’s why the DNA strands are wrapped as tightly as possible ...

Chunks of flipped DNA appear to accelerate evolution in fish. This discovery could reshape our understanding of how biodiversity arises. Scientists have discovered that segments of “flipped” DNA help ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...
