DNA is not an ionic bond—the ingenious structure that protects and 'opens' genetic informationWhen we think of DNA, we think ...
Every cell in your body has spent its entire existence under gravity’s pull. Inside each of them, roughly two meters of DNA ...
Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play ...
Why do human brains vary in size and shape, and how did our brains expand over evolutionary time to give us our enhanced ...
Two new federally funded studies offer detailed views of proteins repairing broken DNA inside tightly packed chromatin, and of the molecular toolkit they assemble at a break, with potential implicatio ...
A cell's ability to repair its damaged DNA is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, helping protect us from ...
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 ...
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University have directly visualized how enzymes find and break DNA molecules in real time. Using high-speed atomic force ...
Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...
