Researchers Valerii Plotnikov and Dan Fisher slice a sample from 52,000-year-old mammoth skin. The skin provided the first ever look at the 3-D structure of the extinct animal’s DNA.

Cytosine is one of the four main nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine (A), guanine (G), and thymine (T) or uracil (U). It is a pyrimidine derivative, meaning it has a single-ring ...

Guanine (G) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, along with along with adenine (A), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). It is a purine base, meaning it has a ...

Skoltech researchers have enlisted generative artificial intelligence to complete the missing data on the distances between pairs of genes in DNA. This enables figuring out the 3D architecture of ...

If Iron Man ever needs a new suit, he’s got options—thanks to a new material created by a team of researchers using a DNA structure and flawless glass.. This high-strength, lightweight, nano ...

Investigators in Boston have used DNA analysis to identify and charge a suspect in the sexual assaults of four women whose cases have gone unsolved for over a decade, according to prosecutors.
