Scientists have found that twisting structures in DNA long mistaken for knots are actually something else entirely. Inside cells, DNA gets twisted, copied, and pulled apart. The twists can influence ...

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 ...

Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...

In the world of biomolecules, none is more iconic, nor more versatile, than DNA. Nature uses the famous double helix to store the blueprints of all living forms, drawing on a four-letter alphabet of ...

Previously, researchers from Tianjin University designed and created a 254 kb digital data carrying artificial chromosome in yeast. This work "is a key proof-of-concept that demonstrated how ...

Researchers explore a basic building block used in the fabrication of many DNA nanoforms. Known as a Holliday junction, this nexus of two segments of double stranded DNA has been used to form ...
