This video is a bit different and more on the biochemistry side. During my Biochemistry degree, this was one prep that always amazed me. I'll be extracting DNA from strawberries and then giving it a ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
