In all forms of gene therapy, DNA exerts its influence from within the nucleus. Recombinant events for viral delivery of plasmid DNA are permanent and alter the genomes of the affected cells and their ...

Scientists found that DNA’s phosphate groups can direct chemical reactions to make the correct mirror-image form of drug ...

A group led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine has identified significant differences at the epigenetic level – the chemical tags in DNA that help regulate gene expression – between two ...

By studying Neanderthal DNA, researchers shed light on key genetic factors that contribute to the unique structure of human faces.

Every human face is unique, allowing us to distinguish between individuals. We know little about how facial features are ...

The fundamental organization of the DNA in active and inactive compartments arises immediately after fertilization of the oocyte, even before genes are activated. The discovery will lead to a better ...

Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare disease that causes short stature, premature aging (progeria), severe photosensitivity, and moderate to severe learning delay. A new study by researchers from the ...

Scientists at NUS have found that DNA’s phosphate groups can guide chemical reactions like molecular “hands.” Chemists at the ...
