Elongation: RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand, reading the nucleotide sequence and adding complementary RNA nucleotides to the growing RNA molecule. This process follows base-pairing ...

(Nanowerk News) The DNA double helix is composed of two DNA molecules whose sequences are complementary to each other. The stability of the duplex can be fine-tuned in the lab by controlling the ...

At the Frost Art Museum, “Nela Ochoa: Genetic Portraits” features an intriguing collection of complex pieces referencing the genetic code of human and plant life. The Venezuelan artist’s work embraces ...

Scientists have developed a way to “paint” with DNA, creating 16 million colors to accurately reproduce digital images with 24-bit color depth. The resulting images are incredible, and represent not ...

In recent years, Egyptologists’ understanding of the period of stability and prosperity that emerged at the end of the 4th millennium B.C.E. known as the Old Kingdom has begun to change. Excavations ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

Much of the genetic difference between modern humans and our archaic ancestors – Neanderthals and Denisovans – is not in our genes themselves, which make up only 2 percent of the human genome, but in ...

The DNA double helix is composed of two DNA molecules whose sequences are complementary to each other. The stability of the duplex can be fine-tuned in the lab by controlling the amount and location ...
