In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA can also be found in the chloroplasts and mitochondria, and inside the cytoplasm in the form of plasma. DNA molecules consist of nucleotides ...

Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA structure in 1953 revealed a possible mechanism for DNA replication. So why didn't Meselson and Stahl finally explain this mechanism until 1958? Semiconservative ...

Although synthetic processes inspired by life’s chemistry are inherently messy and complex, they may yet yield to bioengineers’ attempts to impose order. For example, engineers have been reporting ...

DNA is like a biological computer chip, storing vast amounts of information. The basic units of operation for DNA computation are short strands of synthetic DNA. Researchers can change the "program" ...

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may ...

Rapid City Society for Genealogical Research will explore how to use DNA testing in genealogy research, where to find reputable genealogy information online and much ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...
