Studies of living participants and postmortem brains confirm that gene expansion is a promising target for HD prevention ...

2020) we found that the dsDNA strands are separated on binding to the filament ... homology search and strand exchange until the correct register of the two DNA molecules is encountered. This ...

It also revealed that HELQ has another role: it can zip up two aligning strands of DNA to form the double helix. HELQ tethers to proteins that cover the single-stranded DNA, and then strips away ...

It carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA is a complex molecule that consists of two strands coiled ...

The researchers watched replicating DNA from E. coli bacteria. The first step in the process always sees the double helix “unzipping” into two strands — a “leading strand” and a ...

The true identity of Jack the Ripper, whose grisly murders terrorized east London in 1888, has been a mystery ever since.

The current prototype microchip is about 2.5cm (one-inch) square and includes multiple microwells, allowing several DNA strands to be synthesised in parallel. This will allow larger amounts of DNA ...

DNA origami is a fabrication technique wherein researchers fold DNA strands to create precisely shaped 2- and 3-dimensional nanostructures. These highly programmable structures have the potential ...
