Scientists have discovered that bacteria employ a type of DNA modification never before seen in nature. For several decades, researchers have known that it is possible to modify synthetic ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- DNA is made from four nucleosides, each known by its own letter -- A, G, C, and T. However, since the structure of DNA was deciphered in 1953, scientists have discovered several other ...
Figure 1: Dynamics of global levels of 5fC during mouse development are distinct from those of 5hmC. Tissues and cells were resuspended in lysis buffer (100 mM Tris, pH 5.5, 5 mM EDTA, 200 mM NaCl, ...
More and more research is going into stopping cancer and other diseases before they start. That is the basis for public health areas like traditional epidemiology; however, epigenetics is a newer ...
Scientists at the University of Chicago, Harvard University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have described the surprising discovery and function of a new DNA modification in insects, worms and ...
DNA is the basic building block of the genes that form the instructions to the cells on their birth, maturity, functions and eventually death. Understanding the chemistry of DNA is possibly the most ...

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 ...
Researchers at The University of Queensland have discovered a DNA modification that enhances our ability to extinguish fear. The findings, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, could help ...
(Nanowerk News) DNA is made from four nucleosides, each known by its own letter — A, G, C, and T. However, since the structure of DNA was deciphered in 1953, scientists have discovered several other ...
Scientists at the University of Chicago, Harvard, and China have described the surprising discovery and function of a new DNA modification in insects, worms, and algae. Common DNA modifications occur ...
