The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), with collaborators from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), ...

A new study shows that DNA forms coils under stress, not the tangled knots that scientists expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

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 ...
