A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Chemical structure of guanine, showing its double-ring purine structure and the functional groups involved in hydrogen bonding with cytosine. (Image: Public Domain) Guanine has the chemical formula ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone ...

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

Beef jerky and some woolly mammoths have at least one thing in common: Drying turns their DNA into super-tough glass. This glassy DNA is so stable that it preserved the three-dimensional structure of ...
