Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the ...

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...

DNA is negatively charged, due to the phosphate groups in its phosphate-sugar backbone, so histones bind with DNA very tightly. The basic repeating structural (and functional) unit of chromatin is ...

Kokoris came up with the idea of solving some of the noise issue of nanopore sequencing by converting DNA into larger ...

The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality ...

Combinations of these atoms form the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA -- the sides of the ladder, in other words. Other combinations of the atoms form the four bases: thymine (T), adenine (A ...

Recombinase efficiency increases allow Qi Biodesign to insert 20-30 kb (5 or 6 genes) at one time at one location across a variety of different crop genetics. In addition, a large team at Qi Biodesign ...

Mayo Clinic's Precision Mouse Engineering Core in Minnesota produces transgenic mouse strains for researchers.
