Every cell in every organism on Earth copies DNA the same way. Except one bacterial protein — quietly doing something ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate ...

Left panels: Atomic Force Microscopy images show how circular DNA can shift from a relaxed shape into a tightly twisted form, and how the gene-editing protein Cas9 binds to this coiled DNA (Credit: ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...
