Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot.

Disrupting the G-loop cycle causes transcriptome dysregulation and genome instability, revealing key role in cell survival and homeostasis.

The G-loop acts like a landing pad for additional proteins. These proteins untie the G4 knot, break apart the G-loop and ...

Researchers discovered that HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) actively reshapes the 3D layout of human DNA within hours of ...

Viruses are entirely dependent on their hosts to reproduce. They ransack living cells for parts and energy and hijack the host's cellular machinery to ...

Scientists in Spain and China discovered that HSV-1 begins rewriting the architecture of human genes just one hour after ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

Researchers have discovered that the herpes virus reshapes the human genome’s architecture, rearranging its shape in ...

Using capillary gel electrophoresis, researchers from the National Institute of Health Sciences in Kanagawa, Japan studied the factors that optimize chain-length distribution analysis of messenger RNA ...
