A cell has many ways to regulate gene expression, one of which is the structure of the genome itself; active genes have to be accessible to the cellular machinery to be expressed. The DNA in the ...

The double helix of DNA is one of the most iconic symbols in science. By imitating the structure of this complex genetic molecule we have found a way to make artificial muscle fibres far more powerful ...

Digital DNA molecule, structure. Concept binary code human genome. DNA molecule with modified genes, 3D illustration When synthetic biologists sketch gene circuits, they usually think in terms of ...

When people think of DNA, they visualize a string-like double helix structure. In reality, the DNA double helix in cells is supercoiled and constrained into loops. This supercoiling and looping are ...

Picture in your mind a traditional “landline” telephone with a coiled cord connecting the handset to the phone. The coiled telephone cord and the DNA double helix that stores the genetic material in ...
