DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

A technical paper titled “Three-dimensional nanoscale metal, metal oxide, and semiconductor frameworks through DNA-programmable assembly and templating” was published by researchers at Brookhaven ...

“Wild stuff does happen.” The trillions of bacteria in our bodies regularly exchange DNA with each other, but the idea that their genes could end up in human DNA has been very controversial. In 2001, ...

A robust platform for analyzing 3D genome architecture and epigenomic features enables a deeper understanding of gene regulation in specific cell types. Researchers analyze various aspects of gene ...

Crick and Watson were trying to build a 3D model of the DNA molecule ... cytosine and guanine. All human cells contain DNA. The 3 billion pairs of bases in each cell fit into a space that is ...
