For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

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 ...

Single-molecule DNA detection using nanopore technology offers real-time analysis of DNA and RNA strands. It is a low-cost and flexible technique that can be used in clinical and research settings ...

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

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 ...

A novel technology combined with optical tweezer C-trap technology gives researchers new insight into DNA repair mechanisms. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh (PA, USA) have developed a ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...
