Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed. The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a ...

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 ...

In the middle of the 20th century, accumulating data suggested that DNA carries life’s genetic information. Biochemists around the world raced to determine its structure. The competition led to some ...

DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts in DNA provides information for building an organism. What’s not captured by this analogy is the fact that our DNA ...

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 ...
