The DNA from a single human cell would stretch about two meters if pulled into a line
Stretched into a single line, the DNA packed inside one human cell would reach roughly two meters, yet it folds into a ...
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare disease that causes short stature, premature aging (progeria), severe photosensitivity, and moderate to severe learning delay. A new study by researchers from the ...
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 ...
Scientists have found that twisting structures in DNA long mistaken for knots are actually something else entirely. Inside cells, DNA gets twisted, copied, and pulled apart. The twists can influence ...
New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our understanding of how bacteria manage DNA. The methods have enabled researchers to ...
Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...
Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...
The normal (B-form) DNA will switch to left-handed (Z-form) DNA when it is physically twisted, or when a lot of salt is added to the solution. Researchers at the University of Luxembourg were able to ...
No “sticky ends”? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...
