From 'Why a double helix?', 'What are 5′ and 3′?', to 'Why can it replicate?'—DNAis a molecule that stores information in the ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University have directly visualized how enzymes find and break DNA molecules in real time. Using high-speed atomic force ...

A cell's ability to repair its damaged DNA is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, helping protect us from ...

DNA sequence regulates complex reactions and protein-DNA interactions, yet sequence effects remain poorly understood due to the lack of direct, high-throughput approaches to study sequence-dependence ...

Across every cell in the body, molecules are constantly pulling, gripping and releasing under mechanical strain. That force ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

DNA methylation has become one of the hottest targets in modern biomedicine. The chemical tags that adorn cytosine bases ...

UC San Diego structures show E. coli RNA polymerase reads four synthetic DNA letters the same way it reads the natural four.

A scaffolded DNA computer in a 35-microliter magnesium-buffered droplet used molecular competition to make the low-energy ...

For decades, mitochondrial DNA disorders have stood among the most stubborn challenges in medicine: a group of inherited ...
