Instead of carving, they use strands of DNA to form the base structure ... into special 2D and 3D shapes, similar to origami. These shapes then come together like puzzle pieces to form larger ...

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 ...

They embedded DNA molecules, encoding multiple images, into a branched gel-like structure resembling a brain cell ... the team developed 1,000 different DNA snippets to solve multiple puzzles. For a ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has ... because when scientists know the specific 3D shape, they can design molecules digitally and model them to ...

But the DNA in the dehydrated samples still had its three-dimensional structure a year later. They even tried destroying the dehydrated DNA—using some pretty creative methods, like running over ...

This glassy DNA is so stable that it preserved the three-dimensional structure of chromosomes in one woolly mammoth for 52,000 years, researchers report July 11 in Cell. The find gave researchers ...

Like trying to put together a puzzle with missing pieces ... But they can’t capture large-scale differences at the chromosomal level. Because DNA relies on the chromosome’s 3D structure to function, ...

“Knowing the structure of the genome ... can provide a picture on the puzzle box. 3D sequencing techniques, such as Paleo Hi-C, help researchers piece together DNA by taking into account ...

A new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators reveals that beyond providing a convenient way to store DNA in a tight space, the 3D organization of noncoding gene regulators in chromatin ...

Researchers of the 3D-BRICKS project want to focus on the use of Carbon Nanotubes - the most promising candidates because of their nano dimensions - together with DNA technologies, to obtain nano ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to ...
