Researchers have found that the DNA spools inside human cells are far less tightly wound than textbooks have long suggested.

DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

DNA sits in sunlight every day, absorbing ultraviolet radiation that can set off the kind of chemical changes linked to ...

Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

James D. Watson, whose role as co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953 made him one of the key figures in the rise of molecular biology as well as the obvious choice to be first ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...
