Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control.

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

New view reveals how DNA fits into cell. Map of 3-D structure of the entire human genome shows ... Scientists also don’t yet know whether this folding pattern holds true across different cells.

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. DNA is the foundation of organisms, but what does it stand for? Get to know more about this nucleic acid.

New Twisted 'Knot' Human DNA Structure Discovered—and It Looks Nothing Like the Double Helix Published Apr 23, 2018 at 12:58 PM EDT Updated Apr 23, 2018 at 1:53 PM EDT By ...

DNA methylation inhibits gene expression in animal cells, probably by affecting chromatin structure. Biochemical studies suggest that this process may be mediated by methyl-specific binding ...

When we think of the structure of DNA, the image that most likely comes to mind is that of the iconic double helix. Now, Australian scientists have found a new form, a twisted knot known as the i ...

Now scientists have determined the structure of a complex of two proteins -- BRCA2 together with MEILB2 -- that allows repairs to happen efficiently in cells undergoing cell-splitting, called meiosis.
