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 ...
Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...
In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...
Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...
Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...
