几十年来，基因组学家一直误解了纳米孔测序中的一个关键现象。当DNA分子被拉过纳米级的微小孔洞时，产生的混乱电信号长期被归咎于DNA打结。但剑桥大学卡文迪什实验室的最新研究彻底推翻了这一假设。发表在《物理评论X》上的论文显示，这些信号的真正来源是一种叫 ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

As the rate of humanity’s data creation increases exponentially with the rise of AI, scientists have been interested in DNA as a way to store digital information. After all, DNA is nature’s way of ...

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

Scientists have succeeded in controlling the structure and function of biological membranes with the help of 'DNA origami'. The system they developed may facilitate the transportation of large ...

Emerging methods are improving the ability to identify even highly degraded human remains. By Damien Cave Reporting from Hanoi, Vietnam The world is facing an abundance of tragic events that produce ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...
