Switchback DNA has only two strands, so it can be directly compared with the double helical structure of DNA that everyone is familiar with. In switchback DNA, the two strands have sections ...

Astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams are back on Earth after nearly nine months in space and readjusting to ...

Scientists found that fast-evolving DNA shaped human brain development but might also increase risks for mental disorders.

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a ...

Essentially, DNA origami enables long strands of DNA to fold, through self-assembly, into any desired shape. (In the 2006 paper, Rothemund famously used the technique to create miniature DNA ...

Pancreatic cancer’s deadly resilience may be tied to extrachromosomal DNA, which allows tumor cells to rapidly adapt to ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...
