In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the original ...

A large number of DNA bricks can produce three-dimensional shapes, such as a cuboid that is depicted by a DNA brick model and a DNA strand model. Each brick carries a unique sequence that directs it ...

Arc Institute, a research organization that operates in collaboration with UC Berkeley, has released an artificial intelligence model that can classify and generate strands of DNA. This technology has ...

Scientists have created an unprecedented 3-dimensional structural model of a key molecular "machine" known as the BAF complex, which modifies DNA architecture and is frequently mutated in cancer and ...

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) hold great promise for pharmacotherapy. Now, researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, advancing their earlier work on a ...
