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

DNA Discoveries Before Watson and Crick James Watson’s discovery of DNA’s structure, the double helix, with Francis Crick in 1953, revolutionized human ...

By sequencing the DNA from one of the Neanderthal's teeth, they discovered a completely new lineage. The DNA indicates recent inbreeding that may help explain why this species went extinct.

DNA helicity, elasticity explained on nanoscale Date: December 5, 2013 Source: Springer Science+Business Media Summary: A simple mechanical model to effectively implement the well-known double ...

The archaeal DNA folding, described today in the journal Science, hints at the evolutionary origins of genome folding, a process that involves bending DNA and one that is remarkably conserved across ...

A simple mechanical model to effectively implement the well-known double-stranded structure and the elasticity of DNA on a nano-meter scale has been developed by Jae-Hyung Jeon and Wokyung Sung of ...

DNA replication is closely linked to the process of cell division. Before a cell can divide into two daughter cells, it must ensure that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic ...

Roughly 10,000 years ago, humans started shifting from being nomadic hunter-gatherers to building large agricultural ...
