For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life.

DNA takes this form following DNA replication during the process of cell division, when replicated chromosomes are highly condensed and appear in an X shape.

During DNA replication, special enzymes move up along the DNA ladder, unzipping the molecule as it moves along. New nucleotides move in to each side of the unzipped ladder. The bases on these ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a ...

DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of DNA DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical ...
