Polymers are made of monomers, and in DNA, these monomers are called nucleotides or nucleobases. The enzymes that handle DNA ...

Tantalizing clues in 4-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu samples could reveal particular molecular formations that some ...

NASA has spent the first 100 days of the Trump-Vance Administration continually exploring, innovating, and inspiring.

Scientists have found special chemical compounds necessary for the existence of life in samples collected from asteroid Bennu ...

Ciesla and Sanford say this process could have generated organic molecules such as amino acids, amphiphiles and nucleobases—the building blocks of proteins, cell membranes and RNA and DNA ...

In this work, we investigate the ability of TDG to excise modified nucleobases from the simplest unit of compacted DNA, the nucleosome core particle (NCP). We measure TDG activity on a population of ...

DNA obtained from the remains of people who inhabited Pueblo Bonito in New Mexico's Chaco Canyon a millennium ago is helping ...

The Picuris Pueblo tribal nation initiated a genetic study that confirms their connection to Chaco Canyon -- a potential ...
