The trunk of each 'Christmas tree' (a transcription unit) represents a DNA molecule; the tree branches (granular strings attached to the DNA) are RNA molecules that have been transcribed from the DNA.

Thanks to cryo-electron microscopy, this study marks a ... This mechanism is remarkably efficient: a single ATP molecule separates 1 to 2 DNA base pairs. The six helicase subunits act in ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

By tagging each DNA or RNA molecule and allowing neighboring tags ... This technique, called volumetric DNA microscopy, creates a 3D image of an entire organism from the inside out, giving ...

BP1 is a key player in DNA repair and together with BRCA1 regulate selection of DNA double strand break repair mechanisms. Localization of DNA repair factors to sites of DNA damage by 53BP1 is ...

Kanazawa University and colleagues have achieved a breakthrough in understanding sperm DNA packaging. Using high-speed atomic ...

The POLG gene regulates the production of DNA polymerase gamma ... including by means of cryo-electron microscopy. “We demonstrate exactly where the molecule binds, between two separate chains of the ...

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 ...
