New precision genome editing technologies are transforming the therapeutic landscape for patients with certain cancers and ...

Erwin Chargaff's groundbreaking research, which showed that DNA base pairs had a complementary relationship, laid the foundation for James Watson's and Francis Crick's DNA model. When word spread that ...

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation ...

The basic repeating structural (and functional) unit of chromatin is the nucleosome, which contains eight histone proteins and about 146 base pairs of DNA (Van Holde, 1988; Wolffe, 1999).

Each contains one side of the original DNA and one side made of "new" nucleotides. It is possible that mistakes were made along the way -- in other words, that a base pair in one DNA molecule ...

DNA analysis is crucial for identifying individuals and their relatives, using technologies like PCR, electrophoresis, and ...

By discovering new ways to manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular levels, advances in nanotechnology are paving the way for innovations in medicine, electronics, materials science and ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...
