Angstrom-level imaging and 2D surfaces allow real-time tracking and steering of DNA

Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like ...

Computational Model Uses Language Theory to Predict DNA Shapes That Underlie Gene Expression and Disease

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 ...

AI model from Arc Institute can generate strands of DNA

Arc Institute, a research organization that operates in collaboration with UC Berkeley, has released an artificial intelligence model that can classify and generate strands of DNA. This technology has ...

Unlocking key insights into gene expression using a novel mouse model

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as ...

Molecular biomimetics: The cell nucleus as a model for DNA-based computer chips

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 ...

'DNA Bricks' Act as Tiny Legos (2 of 8) (IMAGE)

A large number of DNA bricks can produce three-dimensional shapes, such as a cuboid that is depicted by a DNA brick model and a DNA strand model. Each brick carries a unique sequence that directs it ...
