By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered ...

At different times during the life cycle of a cell, the DNA that makes up the cell's chromosomes can be tightly compacted into a structure that is visible under a microscope, or it can be more ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago are developing a new technology that overcomes these challenges. By tagging each DNA or RNA molecule and allowing neighboring tags to interact, the technique ...

The trunk of each 'Christmas tree' (a transcription unit) represents a DNA molecule; the tree branches (granular strings attached to the DNA) are RNA molecules that have been transcribed from the DNA.

This study shows that “one can use a very simple imaging device such as the mobile phone to record DNA sequencing reactions,” said coauthor Mats Nilsson of Stockholm University in Sweden. The ...

Biology lectures teach students that when a cell’s replication machinery comes together, DNA polymerase takes off down the double-helix like a car on a highway ...

Indian scientists at ZSI have pioneered a groundbreaking method using DNA metabarcoding to decode spider-parasitoid ...
