The sequence data for chromosomes 2 and 4, together with the high-quality annotation of genes and an analysis of homologous regions of vertebrate genomes, reveal a high-level structure consisting ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

The next phase in the annotation of lncRNAs is to determine structure-function relationships. This is very much a work in progress, involving data-driven and bioinformatic approaches.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed.

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

The discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953 is one of the most revolutionary scientific discoveries to date. However, the research leading to the discovery of ...

In 1963, Popular Science reported on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and Rosalind Franklin⁠—the woman who was left out of the accolades.

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

Scientists have discovered a new structure inside human cells: a never-before-seen twisted "knot" of DNA. Dubbed the "i-motif," this four-stranded knot looks totally different from the iconic ...

In this week's issue of PLoS Biology, Marseilles University lecturers describe the Annotathon – a bioinformatics teaching approach that appeals to undergraduate biology students.

Water molecules surround the genetic material DNA in a very specific way. Scientists have discovered that, on the one hand, the texture of this hydration shell depends on the water content and, on ...
