Length of DNA in Human Cell

James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA structure, dies

San Diego researchers reflect on the passing of James Watson, who co-discovered DNA structure

Of course, Watson’s legacy is far from a simple story of applying the scientific method to the chain of molecules inside every human cell.

The DNA Helix Changed How We Thought About Ourselves

The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself.

Engineered telomerase RNA offers temporary boost to telomere length in human stem cells

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres - regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure - protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every time our cells divide, telomeres lose a bit of that DNA.

Bridge recombinases, optimized for human cells, enable massive programmable DNA rearrangements

For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in the genetic code. Arc Institute researchers are changing that paradigm with a universal gene editing system that allows for cutting ...
