One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Commonly used sequencing approaches do not capture full information from both genetics and epigenetics. Some of these may involve separate, parallel workflows and sequencing to produce full ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

Imagine a container of tomatoes arriving at the container terminal in Aarhus. The papers state that the tomatoes are from ...
