Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 111, No. 22 (June 3, 2014), pp. 8061-8066 (6 pages) Deciphering the factors that control chromatin fiber structure ...

A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA – the first step of the process by which an organism's ...

Image caption and credit: Illustration of the model plant Arabidopsis. The genetic material is present as chromatin, which consists of DNA wrapped around a histone protein complex in cells. The linker ...

Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...

In the new work, Rothemund and his colleagues used DNA origami to create a lilypad-like structure—a flat, circular surface ...

Hamilton, M. B., Pincus, E. L., Di Fiore, Anthony, and Fleischer, Robert C. 1999. "Universal linker and ligation procedures for construction of genomic DNA libraries ...

Up to 30 per cent of crop yields worldwide each year are lost to pathogenic infection. Understanding how to make plants more resilient to infection is vital for future food security. Now researchers ...

A coarse-grained model of the DNA origami lilypad used in the study. The tails hanging down indicate where redox reporters are located. For scale, the diameter of the disk is approximately 80 nm.
