At present, it is in its fourth round of funding, and the NIH has awarded grants to a group of institutions from all over the United States to perform research as part of this project. Apart from ...
How cells, tissues and organisms interpret the information encoded in the genome has vital implications for our understanding of development, health and disease. Launched in 2003, the ENCyclopedia Of ...
In three back-to-back papers and five pages of the April 25, 1953, issue of Nature, seven authors laid out the evidence and interpretation that established the double helical structure of DNA. As ever ...
