Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Animation of DNA’s knot-like i-motif structure the team mapped in 50,000 locations in the human genome, concentrated in key functional areas including regions that control gene activity Credit must be ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

As imaging tools continue to get more sophisticated, researchers have been able to actually watch biological processes as they are happening in live cells. Scientists have now visualized loops of DNA ...

Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

DNA three-dimensional structure is determined by a series of spatial rules based on particular protein sequences and their order. This was the finding of a study recently published in Genome Biology ...
