An international team has uncovered details about the formation of DNA's building blocks, paving the way for potential medical and therapeutic applications. Despite its fundamental role in biology, ...

An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the molecule that carries the genetic code of all living things. It’s found in every cell and determines everything from your looks to your body functions. In ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates ...

Scientists were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that was not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight. Working on the ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

A new study has suggested that two processes that are usually thought of as harmful: DNA damage and inflammation, may actually be processes that are required whenever we form long-term memories. Brain ...

A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while ...

An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...
