Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Using a multidisciplinary approach, researchers, led by those at Baylor College of Medicine, revealed in unprecedented detail the three-dimensional structure of biologically active DNA. A report on ...

Beef jerky and some woolly mammoths have at least one thing in common: Drying turns their DNA into super-tough glass. This glassy DNA is so stable that it preserved the three-dimensional structure of ...

Johan Jakobsson is professor of neuroscience at the Lund University Faculty of Medicine, where he leads the Laboratory of Molecular Neurogenetics. His lab is affiliated with the Lund Stem Cell Center, ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Imagine your DNA as a set of shoelaces. Telomeres are like the plastic tips at the ends of those shoelaces, preventing them from fraying and unraveling. Structurally, telomeres are repetitive ...

Every human face is different, but scientists still know surprisingly little about how our DNA shapes these differences. To learn more, researchers are turning to our ancient relatives, the ...

DNA has been used for years to store data, but encoding information into the molecule is painstaking work. Now, researchers have drastically sped it up by mimicking a natural biological process that ...

Recently, when Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind won Nobel Prize he did not win it for physics. Instead, he won in for chemistry, specifically the kind of chemistry that goes into our bodies ...

Kanazawa University, have discovered how a gene-regulating protein forms tiny liquid-like droplets inside the cell nucleus ...
