Biology textbooks may be due for a rewrite. For the first time, scientists have detected a DNA structure inside living human cells that looks more like a four-stranded knot than the elegant double ...

RESEARCHERS from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have discovered a new form of DNA in human cells, a “twisted knot” called i-motif, which differs from the usual double helix. The world-first ...

The double helix of the DNA molecule, shaped like a twisted ladder, graces the cover of DIY genetics tests and high school biology textbooks worldwide. First identified in 1953, the has taken on a ...

One of the most familiar shapes in science is DNA’s double helix structure. First discovered in 1953, this structure uncovered a wealth of information about our genes and the DNA molecules that encode ...

Using new machine learning techniques, researchers at UC San Francisco (UCSF), in collaboration with a team at IBM Research, have developed a virtual molecular library of thousands of "command ...

A new DNA structure inside human cells known as the “i-motif”, has been identified by scientists. This form resembles a twisted “knot” of DNA, instead of the well-known double helix first described by ...
