DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the orientation of ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each ...

For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...
