A collaboration of researchers from the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw, Polish Academy of Sciences, Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University, University of Montana and University of ...

Scientists have captured the highest-resolution images ever taken of DNA, revealing previously unseen twisting and squirming behaviors. Deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA, can be ...

In a new study, researchers have shown that an innovative technique— the use of DNA microcircles— has the potential to detect a broad range of cancers in the earliest stages by forcing tumors to ...

Tiny circles of DNA are the key to a new and easier way to transform stem cells from human fat into induced pluripotent stem cells for use in regenerative medicine, say scientists. Unlike other ...

Study to appear in Nature Methods finds that using DNA minicircles is less efficient than viruses but better than bacterial plasmids. Tiny circles of DNA are the key to a new and easier way to ...

DNA vectors play an important role in gene therapy, serving as the vehicles that deliver genetic material into cells. While plasmid DNA (pDNA) is traditionally used, it has drawbacks that can limit ...

The highest resolution images of a single molecule of DNA ever captured have been taken by a team of scientists, and they show atoms 'dancing' as they twist and writhe. Researchers from Sheffield, ...
