It turns out that sequencing the human genome – determining the order of DNA building blocks -- has not completely cracked the code of how DNA directs various cellular processes. In addition to the ...
Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like ...
This animation reflects the contour of a sphere made of rings of DNA double helices connected together (staple strand crossovers are not shown here), using the Yan group’s new technique of DNA origami ...
A new study published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology reveals how the fundamental enzyme called DNA polymerase delta operates during DNA replication, making a copy of the genetic code that ...
DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...
MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...
