A new study conducted by scientists at the University of Sheffield in collaboration with researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center in the U.S. has found a protein that could help guide which ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don’t tell you where specific genetic ...

Bioengineers bridge the gap between spectroscopy developers and biologists through a systematic guide explaining modern Raman ...

DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) is a super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique that achieves single-molecule ‘blinking’ by transient DNA hybridization.

Dense packaging of genomic DNA is crucial for organismal survival, as DNA length always far exceeds the dimensions of the cells that contain it. Organisms, therefore, use sophisticated machineries to ...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment ...

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 ...
