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 ...
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 ...
Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.
Scientists are turning DNA into tiny robots that can move, sense, and deliver drugs, pushing nanotechnology closer to ...
On February 28, 1953, two scientists, James Watson and Francis Crick, announced they had figured out the structure of DNA. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost ...
An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...
The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...
