DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

(Nanowerk News) A human cell harbors roughly 2 meters of DNA, encompassing the essential genetic information of an individual. If one were to unwind and stretch out all the DNA contained within a ...

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are essential for successful chromosome transmission during replication and segregation of the genome in all organisms. SMC proteins were thought ...

An important specialty in this field—and a signature area of study at the University at Albany's RNA Institute—is DNA nanotechnology, wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are manipulated ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink, ...
