An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a ...

DNA is more than just a code—it’s a beautifully precise molecular structure that holds life’s instructions. Understanding its building blocks, base pairing rules, and replication fidelity helps us ...

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

“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. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

DNA is more than just the iconic double helix we learned in school—it's a dynamic, complex structure at the heart of life. From high-speed replication to advanced sequencing technologies, scientists ...
