Researchers developed fluorescent dyes that reveal DNA packing in living cells and could help scientists study changes linked to cancer.

Most microscopes can only illuminate objects down to a certain size before tiny features blur together. This blurring is known as the diffraction limit of light. Super-resolution imaging techniques, ...

The co-author told Newsweek the findings add a crucial piece to the puzzle of how cancer can develop.

Scientists have observed DNA molecules overcoming electrical repulsion to zip together. Positively charged metal ions act as ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

Researchers have developed fluorescent molecules that permit imaging of how DNA is packaged inside living cells at unprecedented resolution and, in preserved cells, at a resolution close to the width ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

Scheme showing the structure of cytosine, 5-methylcytosine, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. Adding a methyl group to the DNA base cytosine represses gene expression in mammalian cells. To remove the ...

Gladstone Senior Investigator Vijay Ramani, PhD, (left) and collaborator Siva Kasinathan, MD, PhD, led a study that demonstrates how two new tools can perform single-cell genetic sequencing using less ...

In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...
