W hen cancer cells lose one way to repair their DNA, they quickly find another. That workaround often involves RAD52 — a protein now squarely in the sights of researchers hunting for new anti ...

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

DNA is a molecule that can be thought of as a linear array of bases, with each base being one of four distinct chemicals: A, T, C, or G. Typically, each base of the DNA molecule is used to hold ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i ...

When 28-year-old Mengqi Ji disappeared, her husband Joe Elledge was suspected of her murder. Then a hiker made a gruesome discovery, and DNA from a juniper tree sealed Elledge's fate.

Rosalind Franklin’s role in the discovery of the structure of DNA may have been different than previously believed. Franklin wasn’t the victim of data theft at the hands of James Watson and ...

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.

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 ...

Revise structure and replication of DNA for your Higher Human Biology exam with Bitesize Scotland interactive practice quizzes covering feedback and common errors.

On April 25, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick published a landmark paper in Nature, proposing the double helix as the long elusive structure of DNA, a discovery that a decade later earned the ...

The DNA of Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students at an off-campus home in Moscow last fall, is a “statistical match” to DNA collected from ...
