Nearly 30 years after a prominent real estate developer was killed in a car bombing, the attorney for one of the people convicted in the murder is seeking a new trial.
Purification removes contaminants from DNA samples, ensuring the integrity of the genetic material and providing more accurate results.
A recent study published in Cell reveals that the repeated DNA sequence that leads to Huntington’s disease (HD) expands slowly over several decades in disease-specific neurons, eventually leading to generation of these neurons and onset of the disease.
In a groundbreaking shift in our understanding of mutations, researchers have discovered types of DNA damage in healthy cells that can remain unrepaired for years. While most types of DNA damage are repaired by the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms,
DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion through enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is converted into mechanical motion by biasing the Brownian motion.
Researchers leverage their understanding of molecular motors to improve nanoscale artificial motors, aiming to bridge the speed gap between artificial motors and motor proteins. DNA-nanoparticle motor
A recent study by researchers from Peking University demonstrates the potential of nuclear electric resonance to control the nuclear spins of nitrogen atoms in DNA using electric field gradients, thereby achieving artificial intervention to manipulate DNA for computation.
After spending close to 49 years on death row, convicted mass murderer Tommy Zeigler could soon win his freedom.
Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer.
Prosecutors say the evidence ties suspect Bryan Kohberger to the killings. However, his defense wants the evidence thrown out. Kohberger was arrested at his parents' home in the Pennsylvania Poconos in December of 2022, just over a month after the murders. Four students were found killed in their off-campus apartment.
