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

DNA doesn’t knot under stress. A new study finds it coils into plectonemes, reshaping models of genome mechanics. For decades ...

We are used to thinking of DNA in the form of Watson and Crick's double helix, but a new study suggests there may be different shapes of DNA.

It contains dynamic DNA modifications that carry key inheritable epigenetic information passed among generations of cells,” said He, the John T. Wilson Distinguished Service Professor in Chemistry and ...

In a world first, Australian researchers have identified a new DNA structure -- called the i-motif -- inside cells. A twisted 'knot' of DNA, the i-motif has never before been directly seen inside ...

A new AI tool reveals how tangled DNA knots impact health and disease, offering insights for drug discovery and genetic ...

The E. coli microbes with synthetic DNA have an additional, lab-created "base pair" of molecules that researchers hope can be programmed so the organism produces new types of proteins that can be ...

DNA is a linear biopolymer, a compound biomolecule in the form of a double helix. Polymers are made of monomers, and in DNA, these monomers are called nucleotides or nucleobases. The enzymes that ...

DNA takes this form following DNA replication during the process of cell division, when replicated chromosomes are highly condensed and appear in an X shape.

Spatial DNA organization forms first, then the rest Date: May 22, 2019 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: The fundamental organization of the DNA in active and inactive compartments arises ...

Nano plumbing: An artistic rendering showing how DNA nanotubes could connect artificial cells. (Courtesy: Schulman Lab, Johns Hopkins University) Synthetic cells, engineered to mimic some of the ...

In a world first, researchers have identified a new DNA structure -- called the i-motif -- inside cells. A twisted 'knot' of DNA, the i-motif has never before been directly seen inside living cells.
