Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a new use for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), not just as ...

DNA Full Form: The full name of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This molecule holds the complete genetic code of living organisms. The name “Deoxyribonucleic Acid” reflects its part: “Deoxy” points to ...

One way cells can control the activities of their genes is by adding small chemical modifications to the DNA that determine which genes are turned on or off. Methyl groups are one of these chemical ...

Researchers report the development of a chemical-based sequencing method to quantify different epigenetic markers simultaneously. Their method, called NT-seq, short for nitrite treatment followed by ...

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

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
