The classical model for DNA groove binding states that groove binding molecules should adopt a crescent shape that closely matches the helical groove of DNA. Here, we present a new design strategy ...

After 15 years, we know the first Denisovan skull.” With these words, Qiaomei Fu of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced a paradigm-shifting moment in human evolution research, as molecular ...

The DNA double helix was first elucidated by J.D. Watson and F.H.C. Crick over a half century ago. However, no one could actually “see” the well-known structure ever. Among all real-space observation ...

Remote-controlled microflow using light-controlled state transitions within DNA condensates has been reported by scientists ...

Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens ...

Molecular sleuthing has tied the more‑than‑146,000‑year‑old Harbin cranium, known as "Dragon Man," to this hidden branch of humanity.

Researchers discovered that HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus) actively reshapes the 3D layout of human DNA within hours of ...

Guest molecules slice through droplets of DNA polymers in a frontal wave, providing a foundation for better understanding ...

Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or short-lived sterile workers who help rear their sisters rather than lay ...
