Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a ...

AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

An international team, including researchers from HSE University, has created the first comprehensive map of ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Inside cells, DNA twists and coils itself into a variety of different secondary structures—including i-motifs (iMs) and G-quadruplexes (G4s)—that influence gene expression. Some drugs target these ...
