The shape of DNA can be manipulated to create tiny machines ... out of DNA you can introduce it to a cell and it doesn’t get destroyed or recognised as quickly as some other agents we introduce ...

We have found that switchback DNA's unique structure can affect properties important ... to carry drugs to tissues in the body, we don't want an enzyme to break down the nanostructure before ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of ...

"We seem to have found a universal mechanism by which cells determine the shape of DNA. Indeed, what makes the whole thing more extraordinary is that CTCF and shugoshin don't seem to be the only ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

The bases of the two strands of DNA are stuck together to create a ladder-like shape. Within the ladder, A sticks to T, and G sticks to C to create the “rungs.” The length of the ladder forms ...

Watson and Crick's discovery didn't come out of the blue ... Despite her contribution to the discovery of DNA's helical structure, Rosalind Franklin was not named a prize winner: She had died ...
