DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of their tertiary structures and binding mechanisms hinders their further ...

DNA testing has confirmed that the fugitive father accused of killing his three daughters at a campground in Washington state in June is the sole suspect wanted in connection with the case, ...

The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Tuesday ruled that the National Labor Relations Board's structure is likely unconstitutional and barred the federal agency from pursuing cases against SpaceX and ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

They have fewer atoms, fewer chemical bonds, and a more compact structure, which means they are less fragile than DNA, according to Warriner and colleagues. The first ancient proteome — a group of ...

The human genome consists of 3 billion base pairs, and when a cell divides, it takes about seven hours to complete making a copy of its DNA. That's almost 120,000 base pairs per second. At that ...

When Napoleon’s half-million-strong army retreated from Russia in 1812, around half the men were wiped out by disease, starvation and the extreme cold. Now, state-of-the-art DNA analysis has revealed ...

One person's junk is another's treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of "junk" DNA in the human genome that were previously written off as having no useful function are ...

More than three decades after skeletal remains were found partially buried along Interstate 95, investigators say they finally know who it was. On Nov. 28, 1992, remains were found in the marsh grass ...

This valuable work presents an interpretable protein-DNA Energy Associative (IDEA) model for predicting binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins. While the method is convincing, it ...

MARION, Ark. (KAIT) - A judge Friday ordered DNA testing of evidence connected with the West Memphis 3 murders. During a hearing in a Marion courtroom, Prosecuting Attorney Sonia Hagood and the ...
