Scientists have tapped into the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called nucleotide excision ...

so that matching base pairs interlocked in the middle of the double helix to keep the distance between the chains constant. Watson and Crick showed that each strand of the DNA molecule was a ...

Researchers have uncovered a source of "replication stress" during DNA replication, shedding light on a new cancer target.

Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...

This showed that DNA had a helix shape. Without her knowledge ... What is DNA and how is the structure of this hereditary molecule responsible for its function? How are scientists using their ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ... the time,” said Antoine van Oijen, a ...

It is a polar molecule due to the presence of the carbonyl (C=O ... This strong base pairing is crucial for the stability of the DNA double helix and the accurate replication and transcription of ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...
