A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

A physically consistent and realistic structural model for DNA organization in chromosomes must be compatible with all the ...

If there were no way to fill this gap, the DNA molecule would get shorter and shorter with every generation. However, the ends of linear chromosomes—the telomeres—have several properties that ...

In 1982, Nadrian Seeman, a chemist and crystallographer at New York University, laid the conceptual foundation for what is now known as DNA nanotechnology. Seeman's work on the structural properties ...

Scientists in The Wistar Institute lab of David B. Weiner, Ph.D., have described a next-generation vaccination technology ...

Atomic force microscope–based single-molecule force spectroscopy was employed to measure sequence-dependent mechanical properties of DNA by stretching individual DNA double strands attached ...
