I can say, though, that learning a bit about my own genetic code has altered the way I’m thinking about some health and fitness factors in my life. I took a DNA test, through the company ...

Despite these issues, many remain intrigued by DNA fitness tests. One such person is Devin Maier, co-owner of Balance Gym in ...

DNA testing companies claim that by using genetic information, they can make you stronger and fitter. But just how accurate are these kits and how much of an advantage do they really offer gym-goers?

Trends in Genetics 22, 46–55 (2006). Argueso, J. L. et al. Double-strand breaks associated with repetitive DNA can reshape the genome. Proceedings of the Naitonal Academy of Sciences 105 ...

A double-strand DNA break (DSB) occurs or arises when both strands of the DNA duplex are severed, often as the result of ionizing radiation. They are particularly deleterious as the DNA ends can ...

Testing your DNA is easier than ever with an abundance of at-home DNA tests on the market. All you need to do is provide a simple DNA sample to learn more about your heritage and family history.

In these sequences, the letters of the genetic code, the four base molecules adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine, are ordered such that they have the same order as the second complementary ...

It’s aged — 3,600 years. Scientists have successfully pulled a DNA strand from what they believe to be the world’s oldest cheese, yanking it from Bronze Age mummies in a Chinese graveyard ...

We've now zoomed in enough to see portions of the DNA strand. The DNA is wrapped around histones -- protein structures that are sometimes depicted as discs. Histones carry a slight positive charge ...

To test this hypothesis, the research group experimentally investigated how NEAT1 reacts to serious damage to the genome -- so-called DNA double-strand breaks -- in human bone cancer cells.

RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand. Free RNA nucleotides form hydrogen bonds with the exposed DNA strand nucleotides by complementary base pairing to form a strand of mRNA: Note - RNA ...

When a complementary DNA strand is added, a stiffer double-stranded DNA molecule forms, pushing the pore open and allowing larger biomolecules to pass through. To close the pore, single-stranded ...
