Most cells in the human body each contain about six feet of DNA. Yet the nucleus, where DNA is coiled, is no larger than a ...

All human cells contain DNA ... The discovery of the structure of DNA together with an increasing understanding the part it plays in inheritance has proved that Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the ...

Cells use many complex genetic repair backup systems to fix DNA damage and remain healthy throughout their lives.

A new study from Cambridge genetic researchers is unraveling everything we thought we knew about human evolution.

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical ... the deciphering of the human genetic blueprint.

The new review, detailed in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, examines over a dozen genetic studies published in the past 18 years to indicate an initial branching of humans about 135,000 years ago ...

Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development.

University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 ... for drug therapy The fact that RAD52 appears to be dispensable in normal human cells but ...

With Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), molecular genetics enables the correlation between changes in the structure and ...

RAD52 has already shown promise as a drug target. Inhibitors of the protein can selectively kill cancerous cells while sparing healthy ones, reducing the collateral damage typically caused by ...
