Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech ...

A new AI tool reveals how tangled DNA knots impact health and disease, offering insights for drug discovery and genetic ...

It’s these strict base-pairing properties of DNA -- A with T, and C with G -- that the researchers have co-opted. By designing DNA strands with specific sequences, they can “program” the strands to ...

Writing nanopatterns with DNA inksUsing an atomic force microscope tip as a pen and different single-stranded DNA as inks, scientists at Northwestern University have demonstrated a technique that ...

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control.

DNA doesn’t knot under stress. A new study finds it coils into plectonemes, reshaping models of genome mechanics. For decades ...

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation is the first step in DNA replication. This breakthrough, published in ...

Moreover, the pattern of these single-strand changes was similar to the pattern observed in the double-strand DNA mutations for people with either syndrome.

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don ...
