In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. DNA is the foundation of organisms, but what does it stand for? Get to know more about this nucleic acid.

Thymine (T) is a key nucleobase in DNA, forming base pairs with adenine and contributing to the genetic code. Learn about its structure, properties, and biological significance.

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study.

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.

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to ...

Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech ...

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 ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood ...
