A simple mechanical model to effectively implement the well-known double-stranded structure and the elasticity of DNA on a nano-meter scale has been developed by Jae-Hyung Jeon and Wokyung Sung of ...
Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in ...
Researchers have discovered the details of how cells repair breaks in both strands of their DNA, a potentially devastating kind of DNA damage. When chromosomes experience double-strand breaks ...
A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...
The results of this collaborative project overturn some conventional wisdom about how the DNA repair process works. DNA is often likened to a blueprint. The particular sequence of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts ...
