Unusual i-DNA structure shown to regulate genes and cancer

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

DNA had one rule. Bacteria didn’t get the memo

Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something ...

DNA repair enzyme uses one-dimensional sliding to detect key sites, researchers reveal

DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

DNA assembly insights could streamline design and manufacturing of nanostructures for medicine, materials and more

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have uncovered key principles that govern how DNA "origami" structures fold, ...

The Discovery of DNA's Structure:

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...

Emerging 3D DNA Structure Technology Powers Genomic Discovery

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

Scientists build synthetic cells with programmable DNA pores

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have created a synthetic cell-like structure that can control the movement of ...

Unravelling DNA’s structure: a landmark achievement whose authors were not fairly credited

Seventy years ago, two male scientists, Francis Crick and James Watson, proclaimed they had discovered the secret of life: the structure of DNA. Since then, history has acknowledged how Rosalind ...
