DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

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 ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored ...
