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

From Alzheimer’s to heart failure, many chronic diseases have been linked to damage in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Now, scientists at the University of California, Riverside, may have found a way to ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Chemistry details the development of a chemical nose that can identify irregular DNA that could suggest breast cancer and other diseases. The nose works by ...

In the rapid and fast-growing world of nanotechnology, researchers are continually on the lookout for new building blocks to push innovation and discovery to scales much smaller than the tiniest speck ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

The mutations that give rise to melanoma result from a chemical conversion in DNA fueled by sunlight and not just a DNA copying error as previously believed ...

Scientists discover a byproduct of sucralose that can damage DNA, raising new questions about the safety of artificial ...

Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but they've been extremely difficult to detect -- until now. Using what they describe as a 'chemical ...

Let me extend my deepest thanks to the American Chemical Society. It is a very special honor to be included among the Priestley Medalists, many of whom are my teachers and scientific heroes. I am ...

It might not sound out of the ordinary that the colors of this parrot come from DNA, but the DNA in question isn’t stored in the parrot’s cells. Instead, this image was assembled on a 2D grid, using ...
