DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

The articles in this Subject space describe the science surrounding the structure and function of DNA. Here, you will find information on the chemical structure of DNA; organization of DNA into ...

Explore cytosine, a fundamental base in DNA and RNA, its critical role in gene regulation and epigenetics, and its significance in biotechnology and genetic diseases.

Newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) programs accurately predicted the role of DNA's regulatory elements and three-dimensional (3D) structure based solely on its raw sequence, according to ...

Scientists have constructed ''DNA droplets'' comprising designed DNA nanostructures. The droplets exhibit dynamic functions such as fusion, fission, Janus-shape formation, and protein capture ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Rachel Brazil spoke to Balasubramanian about his early work on next-generation sequencing and his continued fundamental work on DNA structure and function.

This is called the Wobble hypothesis. Until now such synonymous changes in DNA were deemed “silent” mutations that did not affect the structure or function of the resulting protein.

A new research paper in the journal EMBO Reports describes how DNA damage can affect neural health and function.
