New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our ...

Scientists have found that twisting structures in DNA long mistaken for knots are actually something else entirely. Inside cells, DNA gets twisted, copied, and pulled apart. The twists can influence ...

Scientists from the RNA Institute at the University of Albany (UAlbany) have developed new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures that enhance their potential for use in various ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

The incidence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal cancers — tumors of the back of the mouth and throat — is rising. If caught early, most of these cancers have a high survival rate, ...
