The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

The study presents a new mesoscopic (i.e., between microscopic and macroscopic) simulation model of DNA movement. This new model is essential to optimise research in the field of nucleic acids ...

HOUSTON - While Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare and dangerous disease, new laboratory research at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center shows it may lead researchers toward clues in more ...

In recent months I’ve highlighted two excellent iPad apps by OnScreen Science that center around a 3D model of DNA. For the sake of completeness, let me now mention the third and final member of the ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the ...

Inaccuracy of DNA replication poses novel health risk The researchers conclude that – combined with the greater radition risk in space – the inaccuracy of DNA replication under microgravity could pose ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
