In studies of radiation-induced DNA fragmentation and repair, analytical models may provide rapid and easy-to-use methods to test simple hypotheses regarding the breakage and rejoining mechanisms ...

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

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation—the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

Arc Institute, a research organization that operates in collaboration with UC Berkeley, has released an artificial intelligence model that can classify and generate strands of DNA. This technology ...

The model of radiation action that is presented relates the surviving fraction of irradiated cells to unrepaired DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). The following assumptions are made in the model: (i) A ...

Scientists have created an unprecedented 3-dimensional structural model of a key molecular 'machine' known as the BAF complex, which modifies DNA architecture and is frequently mutated in cancer ...

By harnessing the self-assembling properties of DNA, researchers coerced a single strand of the genetic material to assume the shape of an octahedron.

App users interact with a beautifully rendered 3D model of DNA—rotating it, zooming in and out—as they read about base pairing, strand polarity, and major and minor grooves.

Encoding information in DNA has long seemed like a promising way to secure data for the long term, but so far it has required an expert touch.
