The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about 0.01 mm in size, it must be tightly folded. DNA wraps around proteins call ...

One of the most important milestones in modern science, does April 25 also mark the date of an intellectual heist? As has been well-documented, a third person contributed to the discovery — the ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.
