New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

A robust platform for analyzing 3D genome architecture and epigenomic features enables a deeper understanding of gene regulation in specific cell types. Researchers analyze various aspects of gene ...

Visualizing and quantifying DNA replication dynamics in living human cells remains challenging. Here, a new super-resolution ...

A pioneering study at Umeå University, Sweden, has unveiled that the 3D organization of DNA can influence the progression of the aggressive brain tumor known as glioblastoma. Having identified the ...

DNA nanostructures can perform some of the complex robotic fabrication process for manufacturing and self-replication. Building things and performing work with nanorobots has been a major technical ...

Beef jerky and some woolly mammoths have at least one thing in common: Drying turns their DNA into super-tough glass. This glassy DNA is so stable that it preserved the three-dimensional structure of ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have for the first time used DNA to help create 3D electronically operational devices with nanometer-size features. "Going from 2D to 3D can dramatically increase ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a ...

Epigenome remodeling, including widespread changes to DNA methylation and 3D chromatin structure, is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism of gene deregulation in cancer. For example, at ...
