Rocelle Aglugue, a sophomore at Daly City's Jefferson High School, is blunt about her distaste for science. "I've just never been that interested in it," she said, matter-of-factly. Yet on a recent ...

In eukaryotic cells, chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA can also be found in the chloroplasts and mitochondria, and inside the cytoplasm in the form of plasma. DNA molecules consist of nucleotides ...

It's rare for a month to go by without some aspect of DNA sequencing making the headlines. Species after species has seen its genome completed, and the human genome, whether it's from healthy ...

p53 is a unique DNA binding protein with two distinct DNA binding domains, the evolutionarily conserved central domain and the C-terminal basic DNA binding domain (BD domain). The presence of two ...

Mitochondria are often described as the cell’s power plants, but a wave of new research suggests their genetic material may ...

DNA is like a biological computer chip, storing vast amounts of information. The basic units of operation for DNA computation are short strands of synthetic DNA. Researchers can change the "program" ...

Although synthetic processes inspired by life’s chemistry are inherently messy and complex, they may yet yield to bioengineers’ attempts to impose order. For example, engineers have been reporting ...

Rapid City Society for Genealogical Research will explore how to use DNA testing in genealogy research, where to find reputable genealogy information online and much ...
