MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

What’s the story behind DNA melting temperature analysis? UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy can be used to assess the characteristics of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a naturally occurring polymer ...

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 artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...
