What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Researchers at the CNIO show that oestrogens regulate gene expression by changing DNA supercoiling. Hormone-activated ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

Two new tools created at Gladstone Institutes allow scientists to study DNA at single-molecule resolution using fewer cells than previously required, with clear applications for cancer and many other ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving ...

A new study shows that DNA forms coils under stress, not the tangled knots that scientists expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

The oldest sediment DNA discovered so far comes from Greenland and is 2 million years old.
