Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle, or stop producing essential molecules.

An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

This radical new method could preserve our entire knowledge base for thousands of years, in a storage medium the size of a ...

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the molecule that carries the genetic code of all living things. It’s found in every cell and determines everything from your looks to your body functions. In ...

DNA enzymatic synthesis represents an enormously valuable next step in harnessing the power of DNA replication and our ability to use it for developing cutting-edge, biotechnology solutions. DNA (or ...

Scientists at NUS have found that DNA’s phosphate groups can guide chemical reactions like molecular “hands.” Chemists at the ...

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug ...

DNA is the genetic material used by every living organism. But, in a few edge cases, the four bases of DNA—adenine, thymidine, cytosine, and guanine—undergo chemical modifications. And in viruses, ...
