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

Van Andel Institute scientists have developed an improved technique to comprehensively profile DNA methylation in single ...

New view reveals how DNA fits into cell Map of 3-D structure of the entire human genome shows fractal folding is key ...

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.

When it’s completely unraveled, DNA is known to extend approximately six feet in length, yet is somehow able to cram itself into a cell’s nucleus. In a study published today (July 27) in Science, ...

Our cells' identity is shaped by DNA tags called methylation. New tech, scDEEP-mC, maps these tags in single cells with ...

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 ...

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

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.
