No "sticky ends"? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the ...

For many years, researchers believed that the DNA inside a newly fertilized egg began as a structural ‘blank slate’ – a loose ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.
