New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

In a leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful ...

Using “DNA origami,” the team’s digital nucleic acid memory (dNAM) technology relies on a three-dimensional “pegboard” ...

Conceding that discovery of the structure of DNA was as important as the working ... lets physicists take a peculiar kind of look inside certain kinds of molecules—those that form crystals.

Find out how DNA is actually packed inside cells. Biology textbooks are ... Rosalind Franklin's famous image, that solved the double helix structure, was made by shooting DNA with X-rays, which ...

"The DNA double helix is one of ... "What these cryo-EM images showed us is that the G4 structure can get trapped—like an ...

In its structure, DNA contains a pattern for producing amino ... Nucleic acids are named for where they're found—inside the nuclei of cells—and for the acidic phosphate groups discovered ...

The reason is that they are markedly unstable and get decomposed rapidly when inside an organism ... could be firmly attached. And DNA could be just such a base structure in the future.

Researchers reveal how DNA gyrase resolves DNA entanglements. The findings not only provide novel insights into this fundamental biological mechanism but also have potential practical applications.

And in the past couple decades, geneticists have created nanoparticles out of DNA's two helix strands. Look back at the past 10 years, and you'll find Eric Henderson hard at work inside his ...

“However, not all osteocytes that have this ‘nucleus-like’ internal structure show reaction to DAPI…It is also possible that DNA remains are not preserved in all cells or have been highly ...

Picture in your mind a traditional “landline” telephone with a coiled cord connecting the handset to the phone. The coiled telephone cord and the DNA double helix that stores the genetic ...
