The DNA in our cells wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which organize into chromatin. This ...

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic ...

Scientists often describe life as a series of chemical reactions. Pallav Kosuri, Ph.D., describes life as movement. Chemical reactions are how you drive the movement of atoms, proteins, cells and ...

An international team has developed OpenCGChromatin, an open-source simulation tool that acts as a computational microscope ...

A record player-like microscope and computer simulations solve a longtime mystery, showing that metal ions bridge DNA strands that would normally repel.

Researchers have developed a cost-effective conversion that turns a standard epifluorescence microscope into a focus-stabilized TIRF platform achieving sub-10-nanometer DNA-PAINT and (d)STORM imaging.

A new microscope sensitive enough to track the real-time motion of a single protein, right down to the scale of its individual atoms, has revealed how genes are copied from DNA – a process essential ...
