DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the molecular "blueprint" carrying the genetic instructions that influence the growth, ...

Researchers have revealed new details about the CRISPR-Cas5-HNH/Cascade complex, a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, ...

For double-stranded DNA, the effective bending deformation energy becomes non-convex for bends greater than ~ 2° per base-pair, equivalent to the curvature of a closed circular loop of ~ 160 base ...

A new study in Nature identifies a long-sought cytoplasmic 'sensor' that is responsible, at least in part, for interferon responses induced by double-stranded DNA. How do cells detect non-self ...

EPFL scientists have identified a new property, interface flexibility, that controls how certain molecules naturally ...

Polymerases catalyse the addition, using a template, of complementary nucleotides to the 3′ end of DNA primer strands. Many DNA polymerases also have an additional intrinsic proofreading ...

Researchers have finally found a way to make a real-life levitation ray, but it can only lift microscopic material.

A new study led by recent undergraduate student Caitlyn Nojiri and co-authored by astronomy and astrophysics professor Enrico ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...

We are heading back to something Strands did not that long ago in terms of a concept for a board, and you may catch on to that pretty quickly once you get started. The New York Times’ Strands ...

All heads in the jury box turned to defendant Eric Thompson, on trial for a second time in the murder of his wife’s ex-lover, ...

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers have uncovered a biomarker capable of accurately predicting outcomes in meningioma brain tumors and breast cancers.
