DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Researchers have identified the specific structural loops in G-quadruplex DNA that allow it to act as a chaperone, preventing ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.

“The laws of inheritance are quite unknown,” Charles Darwin acknowledged in 1859. The discovery of DNA’s shape altered how we conceived of life itself. The X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin ...
