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.

For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation is the first step in DNA replication. This breakthrough, published ...

A medical breakthrough could result in the first treatment for rare but serious diseases in which genetic defects disrupt ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule ... Using cryo-electron microscopy and deep ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy and deep learning to observe the helicase Simian Virus 40 Large Tumor Antigen interacting with DNA, the laboratories of KAUST Assistant Professor Alfredo De Biasio ...

Scientists at the University of Iowa have made an exciting discovery that could lead to new cancer-fighting drugs. They found ...

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 ...

Until now. Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous ...

revealing a necessary molecular event for DNA to be the molecule that codes all life. A new study from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), published in Nature, captures the ...
