DNA origami, a fascinating technology that uses algorithms to design self-assembling 2- and 3D nanostructures using DNA helices, has added a new member to its growing catalog: multilayered ...

As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the original ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

This may help explain how cells maintain identity while still adapting to new environments: memory nodes link genetic information to physical structure, allowing new genome ‘stories’ to be written ...

DNA origami is a technique used for the nanoscale folding of DNA to develop two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) shapes at a nanoscale range. No bigger than a virus, each of these ...

Marvel at the tiny nanoscale structures emerging from labs, and it's easy to imagine you're browsing a catalog of the world's smallest pottery: itty-bitty vases, bowls, and spheres. But instead of ...

Researchers at Nvidia Corp. closed out this year’s GTC 2024 conference today by unveiling a new, more powerful text-to-3D generative artificial intelligence model. It’s called LATTE3D, and it works by ...

(Nanowerk News) Marvel at the tiny nanoscale structures emerging from research labs at Duke University and Arizona State University, and it’s easy to imagine you’re browsing a catalog of the world’s ...
