This image illustrates the chemical structures of the five main nucleobases found in DNA and RNA. The pyrimidines, thymine (DNA), uracil (RNA), and cytosine are shown on top while the purines, adenine ...
Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...
Scientists have sequenced a South American lungfish genome, revealing 91 billion DNA base pairs. This is 30 times more DNA than humans, setting a new record. The discovery ranks as the largest animal ...
It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
The fern Tmesipteris oblanceolata, which scientists just discovered has the longest known genome of any organism. Ferns are known among scientists for having particularly large genomes. Pol Fernandez ...
