A study of where and how an enzyme cuts DNA may have inadvertently revealed a basic principle of gene regulation, say researchers in Boston Children's Hospital's Program in Cellular and Molecular ...

In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA can also be found in the chloroplasts and mitochondria, and inside the cytoplasm in the form of plasma. DNA molecules consist of nucleotides ...

Rocelle Aglugue, a sophomore at Daly City's Jefferson High School, is blunt about her distaste for science. "I've just never been that interested in it," she said, matter-of-factly. Yet on a recent ...

It's rare for a month to go by without some aspect of DNA sequencing making the headlines. Species after species has seen its genome completed, and the human genome, whether it's from healthy ...

Genomics is rapidly changing healthcare in India by enabling precise disease detection and prevention. This shift promises ...

p53 is a unique DNA binding protein with two distinct DNA binding domains, the evolutionarily conserved central domain and the C-terminal basic DNA binding domain (BD domain). The presence of two ...

For the past 17 years, most scientists around the globe have been using the nucleic acid sequence, or genome, an assembly of DNA information, from primarily a single individual as a kind of "baseline" ...

Although synthetic processes inspired by life’s chemistry are inherently messy and complex, they may yet yield to bioengineers’ attempts to impose order. For example, engineers have been reporting ...
