DNAは二重らせん構造を持つことが知られていますが、結び目をもつかのような「i-motif」と呼ばれる特殊な構造があることも知られています。人の生きた細胞内でi-motifが初めて見つかったと報告されています。 BREAKING: Scientists have confirmed a new DNA structure inside ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

A schematic of chromosome and DNA structure in the cell nucleus. Zooming into a cell reveals chromosomes inside the nucleus, and unwinding a chromosome reveals the DNA double helix. The 4D Nucleome ...

理化学研究所（理研）開拓研究本部 眞貝細胞記憶研究室の新海 暁男 上級研究員、志村 知古 テクニカルスタッフⅠ、福田 渓 客員研究員、眞貝 洋一 主任研究員らの国際共同研究グループは、さまざまな生命現象やがんや免疫不全などの疾患に関与している ...

New analytical methods developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have increased our understanding of how bacteria manage DNA. The methods enabled researchers to uncover ...

On 25 April 1953, Watson and Crick published an article, in the acclaimed journal “Nature” titled “Molecular structure of nucleic acids: A structure for deoxyribonucleic acid”. The one-page article ...

What is it, biologically, that makes me 'me'? The biggest reason is our unique genes, our so-called 'DNA.' DNA is known to form a 'double helix' structure, where two strands are paired and twisted.

When James Watson and Francis Crick described the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, the moment appeared decisive and ...

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...
