In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises unfold in real time. Inside every cell, DNA breaks, repairs, and sometimes ...

Shakespeare’s entire catalog of sonnets and eight of his tragedies, all of Wikipedia’s English-language pages, and one of the first movies ever made: scientists have been able to fit the contents of ...

The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells, revealing the physical structures that control ...

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated-able to read not only the ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Proteins PIF1 and PCNA gather at sites of DNA damage in SETX-deficient cells, indicating activation of the BIR repair system. LA JOLLA, CA—The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one ...
