It’s the most famous corkscrew in history. Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

CRISPR is a powerful DNA-editing tool that has underpinned huge advancements in human health care in the last decade. It is a ...

Paras Gaur, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iowa, investigates DNA damage repair and G-quadruplex structures ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced electron microscopy technologies to capture key cellular mechanisms of stress ...

Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery ...

Researchers revealed a CRISPR system that activates gene expression rather than cutting DNA, using RNA-guided targeting. The ...
