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

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and ...

A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found.

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing ...
