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

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation is the first step in DNA replication. This breakthrough, published in ...

Long strands of DNA with controlled sequence are extremely valuable, information-rich molecules. From customized genes 1 to high-density data storage tools 2 to backbones for structurally diverse ...
