Movie 1: Movement of single nucleosomes in living human cells. The movie shows nucleosome fluctuations in euchromatin (left), where gene expression is active, and in heterochromatin (right), where ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

A pioneering partnership between researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has produced a novel nanopore sensing platform for ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

From the first unzip of the double helix to the final joining of DNA fragments, replication is a carefully coordinated process. Understanding it helps explain how life preserves its genetic code with ...

Nanopore sensors are tiny devices used to detect and analyze individual molecules by measuring ionic changes as the molecules pass through nanometer-scale openings. These sensors are classified into ...

DNA is more than just the iconic double helix we learned in school—it's a dynamic, complex structure at the heart of life. From high-speed replication to advanced sequencing technologies, scientists ...

A label-free nanopore platform uses programmable DNA circuits to build versatile molecular logic gates, forming a universal basis for scalable DNA computing and advanced biosensing applications.
