A newly mapped step in DNA replication suggests that strand separation begins at a precise junction between two helicase ...

For decades, scientists have largely relied on painstaking trial and error to coax proteins into crystalline forms.

No “sticky ends”? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...

Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A ...
