The animated Google Doodle dives into DNA, the foundation of biology, which carries genetic instructions for all living ...

As imaging tools continue to get more sophisticated, researchers have been able to actually watch biological processes as they are happening in live cells. Scientists have now visualized loops of DNA ...

Scientists have discovered a new structure inside human cells: a never-before-seen twisted "knot" of DNA. Dubbed the "i-motif," this four-stranded knot looks totally different from the iconic double ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

Georgina Ferry is a science writer based in Oxford, UK. A revised edition of her biography Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin has just been published by Bloomsbury Reader. Until that time, biologists had still ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
