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

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

Many people picture the classic double-stranded helix when picturing a molecule of DNA, but DNA is also capable of forming far more complex structures. Usually though, those structures are not ...

Researchers have identified a new way to measure DNA torsional stiffness -- how much resistance the helix offers when twisted -- information that can potentially shed light on how cells work. Cornell ...

Franklin’s experience was far from unusual. Scientific discovery is shaped by patriarchy and colonialism as the story of ...

For the first time, Cambridge scientists, including one of Indian origin, have discovered the four-stranded "quadruple helix" DNA in human cells which they say may be key to conquering cancer. For the ...

Reconstructing accurately how the parts of a complex molecular are held together knowing only how the molecule distorts and breaks up. This was the challenge taken on by a research team led by SISSA’s ...
