Beyond the ladder-like structure described above, another key characteristic of double-stranded DNA is its unique three-dimensional shape. The first photographic evidence of this shape was ...

A high resolution structure of a dodecanucleotide confirms some accepted features of sequence-dependent DNA structure, highlights the possibility that other structural variations may be due to ...

Earlier that morning, in the nearby Cavendish laboratory, the two scientists had discovered the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. This discovery changed the world of science and medicine ...

A novel, freely available AI tool has cut the time it takes to determine chromatin structure from days to minutes. The 3D ...

DNA is a complex molecule that consists of two strands coiled around each other to form a double helix structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding ...

Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen ...

In this webinar, Ed Boyden and Jerzy Szablowski will talk about how synthetic biology can help develop tools for studying and repairing the brain. Experts from the Women’s Brain Foundation and bit.bio ...

A generative AI-based technique can predict thousands of 3D genomic structures in just minutes, enabling researchers to more ...

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.
