For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

The revelation of DNA’s chemical structure made it possible to understand how it might replicate and direct the growth of ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...

Pipettes? Check. Centrifuges? Check. Microplates? Check. Gloves? Check. Salmon sperm DNA? Check. Wait what? There are a ...

Two new tools created at Gladstone Institutes allow scientists to study DNA at single-molecule resolution using fewer cells than previously required, with clear applications for cancer and many other ...

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 ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...
