A study has found that an ancient protein motif that binds to nucleic acids is functionally "ambidextrous." This means that ...

Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are polymers of nucleotides – each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group and one of the nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines). Nucleic acids ...

Scientists have identified sequences in great apes' DNA capable of forming unconventional structures called non-B DNA. These ...

Punishing conditions in the clouds of Venus could be home to a DNA-like molecule capable of forming genes in life very different to that on Earth, according to a new study.

Researchers utilized recently published telomere-to-telomere genomes of humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and two orangutans to predict where DNA sequences might form alternative structures ...
