Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

Binding of DNA and of RNA are no longer considered functionally distinct, partly owing to the discovery that DNA- and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs) can bind long non-coding RNAs and DNA. The unique ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules.

DNA aptamers are powerful molecular tools in biosensing, bioimaging and therapeutics. However, a limited understanding of ...

April 25 is DNA Day, commemorating the anniversary of the publication of the structure of DNA. But how has DNA imaging changed since 1953, and what have we learned?

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with international institutions, has uncovered a key mechanism in how DNA behaves as it passes through nanoscale pores—a ...

Could DNA be glycosylated? A new study published in Engineering explores this intriguing question, suggesting that DNA might undergo glycosylation, a process that could revolutionize our understanding ...
