Death does not make DNA disappear. Long after the heart has stopped and the brain has lost function, genetic material can remain inside cells and tissues. What changes is the environment around it: ...
Metal ions bridging the grooves of two DNA helices explain how they lock together, the first direct look at the DNA zipper ...
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University have directly visualized how enzymes find ...
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University have directly visualized how enzymes find and break DNA molecules in real time. Using high-speed atomic force ...
DNA sequence regulates complex reactions and protein-DNA interactions, yet sequence effects remain poorly understood due to the lack of direct, high-throughput approaches to study sequence-dependence ...
From 'Why a double helix?', 'What are 5′ and 3′?', to 'Why can it replicate?'—DNAis a molecule that stores information in the ...
A protein that's essential to every cell's ability to turn off unnecessary genes is well known for its key function of ...
Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...
The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...
For decades, mitochondrial DNA disorders have stood among the most stubborn challenges in medicine: a group of inherited ...
Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...
