A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they ...

In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, scientists explore how a brain protein called tau changes its behavior when a small chemical group called a phosphate attaches to ...

New research shows Glycolysis -- the process of converting sugar into energy -- plays a key role in early development. More than fuel, Glycolysis doesn't just power cells -- it helps steer them toward ...

Before Watson and Crick basked in Nobel glory, before The Double Helix mythologized their genius, there was the photo. Photo 51 — crisp, clear, and groundbreaking — captured by Dr. Rosalind Franklin, ...

Genetics does not get much of a look-in when it comes to the social sciences. That is a legacy from the dark days of eugenics, when researchers like Francis Galton thought genius was hereditary ...

what traits, skills and behaviours we value and reward; and how social structures of our own making have the power to shape our DNA.

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation is the first step in DNA replication. This breakthrough, published ...

Instead of carving, they use strands of DNA to form the base structure. DNA, the molecule that carries our genetic information, is made up of four building blocks—A, T, C, and G—that naturally ...

The major use for phosphorus is as an essential nutrient for all plant and animal life, commonly as phosphate in inorganic fertiliser. At the same time, phosphates and organophosphates are widely used ...

Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, involves obtaining DNA from a sample of ... ask if the lab offers a monthly payment option or a patient assistance program with a tiered price structure for ...
