NASA | DNA Building Blocks Can Be Made in Space
NASA-funded researchers have evidence that some building blocks of DNA, the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life, found in meteorites were likely created in space. The research gives support to the theory that a...

Visualizing DNA in Virtual Reality
We've learned a lot about DNA, but sometimes the representations of DNA that we use to talk about it are not especially accurate. Everyone knows the popular image with the ladder rungs, but let's really get in there and visualize DNA in...

DNA
The picture of the DNA double helix provides a logical start to describing how the base pairs match up and how the order codes for a chain of protein molecules—three billion of these base pairs code for any protein present in your body....

3 Sad Surprises: The Human Genome Project
Why do humans have so many genes that don't do anything? A video explains the Human Genome Project. It starts with what we thought it would do and ends with what it actually did. There were surprises and it has led to entirely new fields...
