A team at Nagoya University experimented with ways to uncurl a DNA molecule using pressure applied to liquid flowing in a channel, with the pressure flow providing shear force that uncurled the ...

Researchers have previously tried sticking down one end of a DNA molecule to stretch it out, but found that the thermal fluctuations could still cause movement and blurring. "Stretching DNA refers ...

But does this DNA impact how people think ... alleles [variations of the sequence of nucleotides at a point in a DNA molecule] with neurological, psychiatric, immunological, and dermatological ...

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 ...

But how do these DNA tests work, and how can they tell if two people are related to each other? A genetic test typically involves submitting a saliva sample to a laboratory. Scientists then ...

“This is a case where you encode something in DNA once and you can make as many replicas as you want using the tools of molecular biology,” he says. “It’s fairly easy to do this in volume.

New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...
