Every cell in your body contains about 2 metres of DNA, which carries the essential genetic information about you as an individual. If you unwind all the DNA contained in a single person, it would ...

Researchers have developed a method to program the spatial organization of double-stranded DNA by incorporating Hoogsteen interactions. Researchers at Aarhus University (Denmark) have developed a ...

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical structures formed by guanine-rich nucleic acids, increasingly implicated in transcriptional control, replication dynamics and genome stability at telomeres and ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Researchers have gained a clearer insight into how common alterations to the structure of DNA affect the process of DNA replication. These structural changes can put a stop to replication, causing ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
