Scientists have gained tremendous control over the genome with CRISPR editing systems, that use a guide RNA molecule to ...

Scientists from Skoltech and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular ...

Left panels: Atomic Force Microscopy images show how circular DNA can shift from a relaxed shape into a tightly twisted form, and how the gene-editing protein Cas9 binds to this coiled DNA (Credit: ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

DNA nanostructures store and encrypt data using physical shape, enabling fast electronic readout and secure molecular information processing. (Nanowerk News) Since the dawn of the computer age, ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

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 ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died. He was 97.The ...
