Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

Researchers found how the INO80 protein moves nucleosomes to specific positions that are important for gene regulation and DNA replication INO80 uses a unique mechanism for moving nucleosomes that ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...

James Watson, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who co-discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, has died. Watson was 97 years old and passed away after a brief illness. His groundbreaking ...

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 ...
