The human body is composed of over forty trillion cells. Each of these cells has totally two meters of tightly packaged genomic DNA, the blueprint of life. Recently, there have been many advances in ...

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During this time, chromosomes replicate—each DNA strand unzips into two strands while free-floating bases attach to the unzipped strands. The ...

A recent publication in Scientific Data introduces a comprehensive vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) database. This library encompasses data for ten compounds identified as key ...
