Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing ...

In diagrams and illustrations of cells, DNA is sometimes shown as a mass in the cell's nucleus, like a bowl of ramen noodles. For many years, it's been standard practice to take images of cells that ...

An international team has uncovered details about the formation of DNA's building blocks, paving the way for potential medical and therapeutic applications. Despite its fundamental role in biology, ...

The formation of four-stranded DNA has been tracked in living human cells, allowing scientists to see how it works, and its possible role in cancer. DNA usually forms the classic double helix shape ...
