They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...

Gene syntax alters DNA supercoiling to amplify or suppress nearby genes. This could improve the effectiveness of gene ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

Researchers demonstrate DNA-based electronic memory controlled by metal ions, enabling read-write-erase functions on a chip ...
