In the movie “Jurassic Park,” scientists extracted DNA that had been preserved in amber for millions of years, and used it to create a population of long-extinct dinosaurs. Inspired partly by that ...

Nanofluidics represents a transformative frontier in understanding the behaviour of DNA and semiflexible polymers under extreme confinement. By exploiting nanochannels and other nanoscale ...

A chlorophyll-based polymer shows stepwise evolution from nonhelical to helical structures, offering a new route to adaptive ...

A collaboration of scientists at the University of Manchester and the University of Birmingham has explored a more effective ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...

Gene syntax alters DNA supercoiling to amplify or suppress nearby genes. This could improve the effectiveness of gene ...

Molecular instructions in living cells can be timed rather like the notes or chords in a piece of music. For example, a finite number of genes can be activated and expressed in different orders, for ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

Scientists from Skoltech (part of the VEB.RF group) and the University of Potsdam have developed a physical theory that sheds light on how molecular motors organize the three-dimensional structure of ...
