Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During ...

In nature, this cross-shaped, double-stacked DNA structure is like the 4-way traffic stop of genetics – where 2 separate DNA helices temporality meet to exchange genetic information. The Holliday ...

The latest imaging method from the Broad Institute uncovers structural disruptions in the nucleus associated with progeria at ...

The strategy avoids damage to the 2D substrate, allows for multiple types of nanoparticles ... physical assembly techniques cannot easily match. By using DNA to modulate both structure and function, ...

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 ...

Previous work has been limited to 2D ... DNA structures are basically a mould or a scaffold on which another nanostructure can be built – in this case a replica of the original. But that ...

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 ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Earlier that morning, in the nearby Cavendish laboratory, the two scientists had discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. This discovery changed the world of science and medicine ...

Her colleague Maurice Wilkins was independently pursuing DNA’s structure, and she had grown so miserable there, largely because of their rivalry, that she had found a position at another university.
