Nanowires are vital components for future nanoelectronics, sensors, and nanomedicine. To achieve the required complexity, it is necessary to control the position and growth of the metal chains on an ...

For years, scientists have puzzled over what prompts the intertwined double-helix DNA to open its two strands and then start replication. Knowing this could be the key to understanding how organisms - ...

American geneticist who shared a Nobel Prize for discovering the double helix structure of DNA. Born on April 6, 1928 in Chicago, IL, USA, he died aged 97 years in East Northport on Long Island, NY, ...

Researchers added seven new letters to DNA's molecular alphabet and developed a precise, letter-perfect sequencing method. These innovations helped transform the double helix into a robust, ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...

The human genome is usually formed as a double helix, but DNA can assume other configurations such as the four-stranded structure. Four-stranded DNA structures are known as G-quadruplexes (G4) and ...
