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 ...

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

We also know the structure of the capsid from experiments ... where its shape has the greatest influence on the DNA inside. These features could be potential targets for drug development ...

Picture in your mind a traditional "landline" telephone with a coiled cord connecting the handset to the phone. The coiled ...

When DNA breaks inside the cell, it can spell disaster, especially if the damage occurs in areas of the genome that are ...

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.

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

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 ...

Inside almost every cell in your body is a structure called the nucleus. This is the control centre of the cell. Inside the nucleus are 23 pairs of chromosomes. These are long strings of DNA. DNA ...
