Gene circuits reshape DNA folding and affect how genes are expressed, study finds

When a gene is turned on in a cell, it creates a ripple effect along the DNA strand, changing the physical structure of the ...

Researchers try to cut the genetic code from 20 to 19 amino acids

Most hypotheses suggest that earlier forms of life had partial genetic codes and used fewer than 20 amino acids. To test ...

Genome Maintains 3D Structure During Cell Division, Contrary to Long-Held Belief

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Discovery of molecular structure of primary genetic material of life

On 25 April 1953, Watson and Crick published an article, in the acclaimed journal “Nature” titled “Molecular structure of nucleic acids: A structure for deoxyribonucleic acid”. The one-page article ...
