In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual ...

Researchers at Imperial College London have discovered that an unusual DNA structure could be key to reversing chemotherapy ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to ...

DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered capsule ...

Self-touching shapes of DNA loops as predicted by the model for increasing supercoiling density (top to bottom). When the DNA is twisted more and more, its shape becomes increasingly compact ...

Researchers have been experimenting with DNA as a construction material since the 1980s. The first 3D shapes were simple cubes, pyramids, soccer balls -- geometric shapes with coarse and blocky ...

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 ...

Synergies in breast cancer cells were associated with tyfonas, a class of complex DNA amplicons. These results rigorously link genome-wide high-order 3D interactions to lineage-defining ...
