Chromatin, the mix of DNA and protein that houses each cell's genome, is more resilient to aging than previously thought, suggests a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society by ...

Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen nuclear spins. Their findings suggest that DNA could be used as both a storage ...

New AI model takes minutes rather than days to predict how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

Japanese scientists detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu ...

NASA OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return team has revealed exciting evidence of the precursors of life in the pieces of space ...

Scientists detected all five nucleobases -- building blocks of DNA and RNA -- in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.

NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission.

Rock and dust samples retrieved by NASA from the asteroid Bennu exhibit some of the chemical building blocks of life, ...

The Bennu discovery helps to illuminate how, early in the Solar System’s history, asteroids and other planetary building blocks were not just “lumps of stone and ice, but active ‘living’ objects”, ...
