Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

The cryoEM structure of a RAD51 displacement loop reveals the molecular mechanism of the strand-exchange reaction at the centre of eukaryotic homologous recombination.

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

They are called plectonemes. They are the analog of the twisted tangles of telephone cords, and can form in DNA that is ...

They are called plectonemes. They are the analog of the twisted tangles of telephone cords, and can form in DNA that is pulled through a nanoscale channel. This is the finding of a study led by Ulrich ...

Scientists find that complex nanopore signals often come from DNA twisting around itself, not knots, reshaping understanding ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with international institutions, has ...

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to ...
