Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial ...

In a technique known as DNA origami, researchers fold long strands of DNA over and over again to construct a variety of tiny 3D structures, including miniature biosensors and drug-delivery containers.

An imaging method that reveals a much more diverse and flexible DNA-protein chromatin chain than previously thought has now been developed by researchers. The result suggests a nimbler structure to ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...
