A team at Nagoya University experimented with ways to uncurl a DNA molecule using pressure applied to liquid flowing in a channel, with the pressure flow providing shear force that uncurled the ...

Researchers have previously tried sticking down one end of a DNA molecule to stretch it out, but found that the thermal fluctuations could still cause movement and blurring. "Stretching DNA refers ...

After one DNA molecule was trapped on the surface treated by APTES, the DNA molecule was stretched by pressure flow and immobilized. Credit: AIP Advances (2025). DOI: 10.1063/5.0223375 ...

The authors used a combination of super-resolution imaging techniques and liquid pressure flow to fine-tune the stretch ratio of a DNA molecule, improving the lateral resolution of side-by-side ...

Ancient DNA studies provide critical insights into human evolution and extinct species, leveraging advanced techniques to ...

Here, authors rationally engineered an artificial DNA-nanoparticle motor with high speed and long run-length which is comparable to motor proteins. Using single-molecule microscopy, Jeon et al.

This manuscript describes a fundamental investigation of the functioning of Cas9 and in particular on how variant xCas9 expands DNA targeting ability by an increase-flexibility mechanism. The authors ...

We have all been told to avoid direct sunlight between 12 noon and 3 p.m., seek out ... RNA is similar to DNA, but whereas DNA is long lived, RNA is a more transient molecule.

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.

If you'd like to learn more about your health, heritage and family history, an at-home DNA test can help you do just that. Justin Jaffe is the Managing Editor for CNET Money. He has more than 20 ...

Recent breakthroughs in DNA research have unveiled promising developments in anti-aging therapies centered around Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), a naturally occurring molecule crucial for ...
