R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...
An international research team led by scientists from Skoltech has developed a method to position molecules on the surface of ...
Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...
Tunable DNA hairpin springs stretch millions of protein copies under piconewton tension, enabling bulk biochemical discovery ...
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 ...
Figure 1. Design and synthesis of circAMO . (a) Synthesis of a single-molecule ring by rigid regulation of selectivity; (b) Schematic diagram of circAMO design; (c) Synthesis of circAMO; (d) ...
Scientists are exploring DNA-based robots, tiny molecular machines that could one day navigate the body, deliver targeted ...
The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...
Scientists developed a charge-free polymer-DNA complex that boosts cellular DNA uptake 14-fold in mice, avoiding the harmful inflammation caused by current methods. Many existing options rely on ...
