The most famous image to emerge from 20th-century biology is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix, illustrating the structure of the gene, life’s genetic material. Credit for the ...

One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double helix.

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation - the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

Based on a new report, Samsung's first tri-fold handset will emulate the Galaxy Z Fold 7. That goes for a number of design-build elements.

During cell division, the familiar double-stranded DNA helix gets split into two single strands, and the cell’s replication machinery moves along these single strands like a monorail, explains Allwein ...

New research shows how SMC proteins make long loops in our DNA and also put twists into the loops as they form, helping to shape the double helix.

Scientists propose “DNA of the universe” is gap in Einstein’s hunt for unified physics theory Physicists say they detected a double helix in the fabric of spacetime ...

If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would visualize a long, straight, right-handed double helix—the type you were taught in science class.

DNA minicircles and advanced imaging techniques reveal first step to untangle DNA We typically picture DNA as the straight double helix structure, but inside cells, DNA exists in supercoiled loops.

“These findings really change our understanding of what we can do with DNA,” says study co-author Dr. Samie Jaffrey, the Greenberg-Starr Professor of Pharmacology and a member at Weill Cornell ...

Scientists engineered a fluorescent DNA molecule, "lettuce," that mimics green fluorescent protein. It folds into a unique structure that activates fluorescence, promising new tools for molecular ...
