For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing an overlooked mechanism with major implications.
