Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

MOORHEAD — Minnesota State Moorhead quarterback Jack Strand is heading to New Jersey in his quest to pursue a career in pro football. Strand told The Forum on Wednesday he has decided to work with ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 1976, workers excavating a tunnel for the Toronto subway system ...

For decades, scientists believed that DNA strands under stress would form knots, tangling into chaotic shapes. But new research led by the University of Cambridge shows otherwise: when put under ...

Plectonemes are the analog of the twisted tangles of telephone cords, and can form in DNA that is pulled through a nanoscale channel. They are called plectonemes. They are the analog of the twisted ...

Strand Therapeutics has raised a $153 million Series B round fresh off unveiling early, but promising results for a cancer therapy it’s making with messenger RNA technology. The biotechnology startup ...

This landmark study describes the structure of the human RAD51 filament with a recombination intermediate called the displacement loop (D-loop). Using cryogenic structural, biochemical, and ...

Researchers reveal DNA strand separation demands greater mechanical force in realistic cellular environments, reshaping understanding of genetic processes and molecular interactions. Credit: Stock ...

Our DNA is comprised of four bases — cytosine (C), thymine (T), guanine (G) and adenosine (A), arranged in a double-helix structure. (cr: Pakawadee Wongjinda / iStock) You may have seen it in the news ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...
