Recent research has uncovered a fascinating mechanism in the nematode worm C. elegans that could have profound implications ...

New Research Shows That “Useless” DNA May Actually Play An Important Role TwistedSifter why people often wake up around 3 AM ...

DNA is the most fundamental building block of life on earth. All genetic information organisms need to function, grow, and reproduce are stored inside of their DNA. Biochemists from the University of ...

When people think of DNA, they visualize a string-like double helix structure. In reality, the DNA double helix in cells is supercoiled and constrained into loops. This supercoiling and looping are ...

Researchers have discovered giant DNA structures in oral bacteria, and data hint they could influence the function of your ...

(Nanowerk News) DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the basis of life on earth. The function of DNA is to store all the genetic information, which an organism needs to develop, function and reproduce. It ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

A better understanding of protein glycosylation offers insights into disease mechanisms and helps improve therapeutic medicines.

Biochemists have developed a new strategy for controlling the biological functions of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by means of light and therefore provide a tool to investigate processes which take ...
