DNAは二重らせん構造を持つことが知られていますが、結び目をもつかのような「i-motif」と呼ばれる特殊な構造があることも知られています。人の生きた細胞内でi-motifが初めて見つかったと報告されています。 BREAKING: Scientists have confirmed a new DNA structure inside ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

First Proof of the Relationship Between the Three-Dimensional Structure of DNA and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation Paving the way for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases Later, I ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

When cancer cells lose one way to repair their DNA, they quickly find another. That workaround often involves RAD52 — a protein now squarely in the sights of researchers hunting for new anti-cancer ...
